Those of you who have hunted with 357:
Do you use ear protection? Out of my 4 5/8" barrel blackhawk, my blue dot 357 mag loads are LOUD. And very fiery. This has led me to prefer 44spl/mag because even with reasonably hot 44 mag I get way less concussion. Don't know if it's my load or just the characteristics of the cartridge. Obviously I'd sacrifice my ears to save my life but man those are some blasty sobs
