Can this ammo be fired from a Windacator 357mag/2". Company tells me any ammo for 357 mag okay but noticed these have a higher velocity than other brands.

Looks okay to me. That gun is heavy enough to handle it. And you got the manufacturers blessing. Personally I'd use them in it when more power is needed. Not a practice round, but fine to use.

Hi, Richard - these can be fired from the Windicator but you will not realize anywhere near stated velocity. This is a hunting/bear defense load developed for minimum 4inch barrel. In a 2inch you will have a lot of unburnt powder due to the short barrel. This will in turn not reach the stated load velocity. The difference between a 2inch and 4inch barrel with this load will be approximately 150fps. There are loads that use a faster burning powder to optimize velocity in a shorter barrel.
