Ruger® .357 Magnum 86 Grain ARX Ammunition, 20 Rounds Per Box Md: 357MAGARXRUG86
Introduced in January 2014, the ARX® is a new projectile in every sense of the word: from the way it is manufactured, to its shape to the way it transfers energy to the target. To understand the ARX®, one needs to forget nearly everything they’ve been told about projectiles. The non-expanding ARX® is injection molded from a specially blended polymer-metal matrix. It is designed to penetrate most intermediate barriers without deformation and consistently achieves its terminal effect in soft targets and tissue.
It is light weight; thereby producing reduced recoil and allowing for faster on-target follow up shots. The ARX® design and weight also means the projectile will penetrate through half as many walls as conventional lead-core projectiles; thereby, significantly reducing the risk of collateral damage should the user miss their intended target.

The Below Information Has Been Provided From Our Gun Caliber Dictionary And Is Meant For Informational Purposes Only. It Is Not Intended to Describe The Unique Specifications For This Ammunition.
The 357 Magnum was introduced by Smith & Wesson in 1935 and initially chambered in their heavy-frame double-action revolver, the 357 was the first "magnum" handgun. Based on the 38 Special case lengthened to 1.29 inches, it was the world's most powerful handgun cartridge until the 44 Magnum. Offering considerably more power and penetration than the 38 Special, it was standard among many law enforcement agencies for decades. It is still widely manufactured in double- and single-action revolvers (and some rifles), available from virtually all revolver manufacturers; and all manufacturers of handgun ammunition offer a variety of 357 Magnum loads. It is a common choice for personal defense, and 357 revolvers have the advantage of handling less expensive and lighter-recoiling 38 Special loads for practice. As a hunting cartridge the 357 Magnum is probably the lightest cartridge that should be considered for deer-sized game. —
