Independence .357Mag ammo?

[earl616]

I just picked up 5 boxes of Independence .357Mag JSP ammo. Does anybody have experience wit this stuff? AND, does anybody know the MV of this ammo...can't find it anywhere (even on the box). Is this ammo manufactured by a major factory ammo outfit? ...Thanks a lot for any info on this.

I have shot it as "range ammo" at my indoor range. It was ok nothing special. I did some reasearch and found a lot of reports of FTF's etc. Seems that some say it is CCI and others say Federal, I don't know. I found this on the internet:

Federal Cartridge Independence Ammunition 5254, 357 Remington Mag, Jacketed Soft Point, 158 GR, 1240 fps, 50 Rd/bx

I've gone through about 400 rounds of the 38 and 357 stuff. Always went bang, seems OK.
