G2 Research Telos 357 Mag 105gr – Superb Fracturing Copper Revolver Ammo

Description

The G2 Research Telos 357 Mag 105gr load, item G00626, is a 20 round box of 357 Magnum ammunition from G2 Research, loaded with a 105 grain solid copper Telos fracturing hollow point bullet. Telos is the G2 Research line built specifically around controlled fragmentation.

G2 Research Telos 357 Mag 105gr Overview

The 357 Magnum has a long record as a defensive and field cartridge, and its high velocity gives a fracturing bullet plenty of energy to work with. This Telos load uses a light 105 grain machined copper bullet, far lighter than common 125 to 158 grain magnum loads, so it moves fast and shoots flat at defensive distances. G2 Research lists a wider fragment spread for the 357 than for its 38 Special and 9mm Telos loads, along with 12+ inches of penetration.

For revolver owners who want a modern, lead-free option for home or carry, it is a distinctive choice.

How the Telos Bullet Works

Telos is a fracturing copper hollow point built around controlled fragmentation. The precision-machined solid copper bullet is designed to break into separate pieces on impact, so a single hit creates several wound paths. G2 Research lists 7 separate wound channels, a spread of 5.5+ inches and 12+ inches of penetration for this caliber, and loads Telos at magnum pressure to drive the design.

Barrier Performance

Because Telos is machined from a single piece of copper, it holds its shape through common barriers until it reaches the target. The design aims for deep primary penetration paired with fragments that branch away from the main path. Shooters who carry a revolver or a compact pistol often look for a load that does more than a standard hollow point at modest velocities, and that is the role Telos is built for.

Firearm Compatibility

This ammunition is made for revolvers and lever-action rifles chambered in 357 Magnum, such as the Smith and Wesson Model 19, 66 and 686, the Ruger GP100, SP101 and LCR in 357, and the Taurus 605. Do not fire 357 Magnum in a firearm chambered only for 38 Special; the longer case and higher pressure are not safe in a 38 Special gun. Test function in a lever-action rifle before relying on it, since bullet profile can affect feeding.

Lead-Free Construction

Every G2 Research Telos bullet is machined from solid copper on precision equipment, so there is no lead in the projectile. That makes it a good fit for shooters who want to reduce lead exposure, and for areas where lead-free projectiles are preferred or required. The machined process also keeps weight and dimensions consistent from round to round, which helps accuracy and predictable feeding.

Recoil and Shootability

Any 357 Magnum load produces noticeable recoil and muzzle blast, especially from short-barreled revolvers. A 105 grain bullet lightens the push compared with heavier magnum loads, but the report is still sharp. A good grip and regular practice help with follow-up shots, and hearing protection is a must at the range.

Practice and Testing

Defensive ammunition costs more than range ammunition, but it is worth running at least a box through your own firearm before you rely on it. Check that every round feeds from a full and nearly empty magazine, ejects cleanly and lands where you aim at typical defensive distances. Many shooters practice with less expensive loads and then confirm zero and function with the carry load a few times a year.

Storage and Care

Store ammunition in a cool, dry place in its original box, away from solvents and lubricants that can contaminate primers. Rotate carry ammunition periodically, and set aside any round with a dented case, loose bullet or signs of corrosion.
