Does anyone know the balistic #'s for a .357 rfile most specifically what kind of range they may have?

I've found ballstics for pistols but not rifles I would assume the rifle would give greater range???

Thanks,

I have chronographed Remington 125JHP out of 20" 1894 Marlin at 2100FPS! The 180 grain Federal red and white box load used to do 1700, not far from .35 REM! My favorite load of 173 hard cast behind 1* grains of Win 296 did 1800 but accuracy was terrible. Too fast for the lead with the micro groove rifling. The 24V savage with 24" barrel did about the same , was a LITTLE faster with the 125grainers! I chrono'd a friends new 16" marlin and results were 200fps less and a 14" contender was down another 100fps.:) A carbine raises a .357 or a .44 magnum to a whole new level and adaquate as a light deer cartridge.
