A .357 Magnum bullet can travel approximately 1.5 to 2 miles under optimal conditions, such as a flat trajectory and minimal air resistance. However, the effective range for accuracy and impact is much shorter, typically around 100 to 150 yards for practical shooting. Factors like bullet design, barrel length, and environmental conditions can also influence its range.
