In my recent video about the older, blued Taurus 66 I'd found and purchased, I listed the Remington 357 magnum cartridges I shot in the video as showing on the box a muzzle velocity of 1875 feet per second. Originally I thought it read 1375, until I had shot a few rounds through a Taurus 605, realized it was a beyond hot round, and checked the box.
If you watch my video, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gUGLA... you'll notice that the third soda bottle I hit was thrown to the right of the shooting berm and into some very thick undergrowth approximately five yards back to the right and behind the target. Over the years I've seen some strange things happen when shooting reactive targets but this was one of the strangest.
I bought this box of ammo during a time when Walmart was unloading all it's handgun ammo. I searched out the Remington website at the time looking for information on this round. I found nothing, but this was also during the time of Remington's bankruptcy. I still have this box with about 70 rounds left. I only shoot it occasionally through some of my stoutest, full size .357 revolvers. I've tried it in my Rossi lever action, but they are a copper jacketed, soft lead bullet and won't load properly into the loading gate.
Is it really rated at 1875 feet per second, or is it a misprint? I don't know. I only reported what was on the box.
