Question about .357 loads

[Spotter98]

I heard that the Remington Golden Saber 125 gr. bjhp is a good (accuracy/defense) load for a .357 magnum. Is there a general agreement? If so, how much do you think is a reasonable price? If not, is there a better choice? I'm looking for something that gets the job done without breaking the bank (my piggy bank).

It is about as good as anything else. Any quality ammo will serve your purpose.

I like the soft point for the .357mag. As stated above it will do as good a job as anything else and will be cheaper.

I use the 125 grain Golden Sabers and my tests in wet telephone books and blocks of wood show that the bullets expand well. With the 125 gr bullet out of a 4" barrel you get a muzzle velocity of 1220 ft/sec and 413 ft-lbs. It may be less than other loads but adequate. Especially when the felt recoil is much lower and easy to control. I pay around 21 bucks for a box of 25.
