Loaded with Gold Country Rhino Deep Penetration Bullets

When fired from a carbine-length barrel, the .357 Magnum becomes a remarkably capable woods hunting cartridge. Lever-action rifles add velocity and stability compared to revolvers, allowing heavier bullets to penetrate deeper and perform more reliably on game.

The Gold Country Rhino 180-grain Wide Flat Nose rifle load was developed specifically for these rifle platforms.

At the center of the load is the Gold Country .357 Diameter, 180 Grain Rhino Wide Flat Nose bullet, designed for reliable feeding in tubular magazine rifles while delivering strong terminal performance at rifle velocities. The broad flat nose initiates immediate tissue disruption on impact, while the reinforced copper jacket helps support the lead core as the bullet penetrates through muscle and bone.

Many handgun bullets designed for revolvers expand too quickly or lose structural integrity when driven faster from rifle barrels. The Rhino bullet system addresses this by emphasizing controlled expansion and straight-line penetration, allowing the bullet to maintain momentum as it travels through the target.

The 180-grain configuration provides an excellent balance of velocity and penetration in lever-action rifles such as:

• Marlin 1894
• Winchester 1892
• Rossi and Henry .357 carbines

For hunters carrying compact woods rifles, the Rhino 180-grain rifle load offers dependable feeding, reliable terminal performance, and the practical field effectiveness lever-gun shooters expect from a purpose-built hunting round.
