You had to have lived through the Lee Jurras/SuperVel years to understand.With an accent on "and heavier".
I've never understood the fascination with lightweight (125-130) grain bullets in 357 mag. To each his own, I suppose.
A 125gr JHP at ~1350fps makes an impressive wound cavity at any range inside the 100yd line. The recoil isn’t terrible and the risk of top-strap flame-cutting is negligible. A steady diet of 296 may be a little unkind to the forcing cones of certain makers guns but that’s not a universal problem.
It depends on what you want to put a hole in.
