For 357 Sig shooters who need reliable range ammunition, the Sellier & Bellot 140 grain full metal jacket brings proven European manufacturing to your magazine. This round exits a 5-inch barrel at 1352 feet per second, generating 568 foot-pounds of muzzle energy—enough velocity to cycle any production pistol chambered for the bottlenecked cartridge. The full metal jacket profile feeds reliably through P226, P229, Glock 31/32/33, and M&P platforms without the expansion concerns of hollow-point projectiles. Brass case, boxer primed, non-corrosive—stack it deep for training blocks where you need consistent velocity shot after shot.
Performance at a Glance
Sellier & Bellot traces its lineage to 1825 in the Czech Republic, and the company’s current ownership under the CBC/Magtech group ensures access to modern propellant formulations and quality-control systems. The 140 grain FMJ sits at the lighter end of the 357 Sig spectrum—common loadings range from 124 to 147 grains—but the velocity advantage translates to flatter trajectory inside 50 yards and reduced felt recoil compared to heavier projectiles. Boxer primers allow you to reload the brass once you’ve burned through your initial stock; non-corrosive chemistry means you can store sealed boxes in a dry environment for years without powder degradation.

The 357 Sig cartridge was developed in the 1990s to replicate 125 grain 357 Magnum ballistics in a semi-automatic platform—this 140 grain load runs slightly heavier but maintains the velocity envelope that made the bottleneck design popular with agencies seeking barrier penetration without stepping up to 10mm. If you’re running drills or confirming zero on a red-dot-equipped carry gun, this ammunition delivers the chamber pressure and recoil impulse you’ll encounter with duty hollow-points, without the premium cost per trigger press. Stock up on 357 Sig ammo for your next range session.
Safe Handling & Compliance
Federal law requires purchasers to be at least 18 years old for rifle and shotgun ammunition, and at least 21 for handgun ammunition. Ammunition cannot be shipped to certain states, counties, and cities—review our ammunition shipping restrictions before ordering. Store ammunition in a cool, dry location away from heat sources and out of reach of unauthorized users.
- Treat every firearm as if it is loaded; keep your finger off the trigger until you are ready to fire; never point the muzzle at anything you are not willing to destroy; be sure of your target and what lies beyond it.
- Verify that your firearm is rated for the cartridge and pressure rating marked on the ammunition box before loading.
- This ammunition contains lead, a chemical known to the State of California to cause birth defects and reproductive harm—wash hands thoroughly after handling.
