Description

Lever-action rifles chambered in .357 Magnum benefit from the increased velocity produced by carbine-length barrels. When paired with the correct bullet design, the cartridge becomes a highly capable woods hunting round with excellent penetration and reliable feeding.

The Gold Country Rhino 158-grain rifle load was developed specifically for these rifle platforms.

At the center of the load is the Gold Country 158 grain .357 diameter Rhino Wide Flat Nose bullet, designed for safe use in tubular-magazine rifles while delivering dependable terminal performance at rifle velocities. The broad flat nose creates immediate tissue disruption on impact while the copper jacket supports the lead core during penetration.

From lever-action carbines, the .357 Magnum can achieve significantly higher velocities than revolvers. This additional speed allows the Rhino bullet to deliver deeper penetration while maintaining structural integrity.

The Rhino rifle load is particularly well suited for:

Loaded in new Starline brass, this ammunition is designed for shooters who want a dependable heavy woods hunting round that feeds smoothly in lever-action rifles and takes advantage of the velocity potential of rifle-length barrels.

For hunters and shooters using compact .357 Magnum carbines, the Gold Country Rhino 158-grain rifle load offers reliable feeding, deep penetration, and practical field performance.
