HydraShok 357

[BTR11584]

Have to use HydraShok ammo on the job, and for 357 they come in a 130 gr. load and the original 158 gr. load. Is the 158 Hydra Shok a good home defense/ personal defense load? I know Hydra Shok is a great design but some say 158s penetrate too much for self defense use. Any opinions or experience on this load would be appreciated.

I wouldn't worry about over penetration. If it does as it was designed and opens up it's good to go.

Go with the 158 Gr. load, size does matter .
