Benjamin Nosler Ballistic Tip eXTREME .357 (9mm) Cal Reviews

These are the best .357 rounds I've ever shot and definitely the best shaped with good weight to it, avg. 9mm rounds weigh 115gr, these are 145gr. But that's not the best part, I've never seen a hollow tip open as big round jaggedy and with consistency all the way around when hitting a cinder block and they shoot incredibly accurately. In fact, I love this slug so much I'm making sure my next gun is a .357. Oh yah, and I shoot them with my .357 Bulldog, BadAss Air Gun these slugs were actually designed for. I just wish they weren't so **** expensive !!! And I already got my next gun picked out, it's the Western Air Gun Rattler. 357. Until I saw the Rattler in action I thought I'd never be interested in another gun. But this thing is my dream gun 15 semi auto shots and has a deep mag well to cycle any sized slugs. And the power and accuracy were mind blowing! Just got to save for a while, but imagine that, 15 semi automatic Nosler rounds ready to spit? And with this guy's power!!

Nothing at all

They're the best!!

Shoots good groups in my Benjamin M357

Price

Nothing

Extremely accurate in my Bulldog .357. 1/2 groups at 100 yards. Ballistic Tip expands the slug nicely when hitting hard objects. Bone, metal, wood...

Packaging. Not Pyramydair or Benjamins fault. But 25 slugs in a bag/box with foam... I don't know, maybe it's me nitpicking because of the cost. I pay $50+ for 100 rounds of 45 ACP and there is a divider between each layer. They lay them down on the side so they don't move much when transporting.

Other than that. Nothing. They shoot straight and true for me. I'm very impressed with that. Actually probably better than me with the grouping. If you have a Bulldog get yourself a shot and shoot these.

This works great in my Benjamin bulldog thanks

No problem

Accurate and hit hard from my Bulldog.

Price is ridiculous.

They are 3 times as much as a 9mm round for a handgun (firearm/powder burner)!

The look and theory behind the design

The lead is hard, needs a softer lead for actual expansion. I use the Benjamin Bulldog. Shot a whitetail deer. I should have played the lottery because I was actually able to recover the bullet. I probably could have shot it again. Just got scratched up. A worthless bullet.

Buy the Aeromagnum Devastator HP. Half the price and it actually expands. Best bullet for the .357 PCP, hands down.

They hit hard , and in stock

Price

Slams whatever you shoot with it!!!

Price

Little pricey

Accurate in my Benjamin bulldog, but at around $1 apiece there are less expensive slugs that are just as accurate

The price

I love everything about these rounds except the price. They shoot fantastic in my modified Bulldog. I'm shooting these at around 810fps for 210 FPE with these and they are more than accurate enough to be very deadly hunting rounds out to 100 yrds.

The price. One of the advantage of air gunning over powder shooting is the cost savings. These rounds end up costing anywhere from .85 to close to a $1.00 a round. That's just too high when there are plenty of other comparable offerings out there for far more reasonable prices. Sell them in boxes of 50.

These come in boxes of 25 rounds, not 50, 100 or 150 like you'd expect with air gun slugs or pellets, so they are far more expensive to shoot than most offerings in .357. Having said that, the quality is excellent, consistency is excellent, accuracy is excellent out to 100yrds (in my rifle at least) and they fit and cycle very nicely with the Benjamin Bulldog magazine. In the end I find these worth having on hand as an excellent hunting round, but they are too expensive for me to justify using for daily practice or target shooting.
