The 357 seems to be the Discussion topic here.
I read a few others suggesting a different caliber-and a opinion against the 357,or lost of enthusiasm.
I’ve said it once before- With heavy boolets and around 1000 fps the 357 dosnt have to be a earcracker. Nothing wrong with Slower and heavy, That combination has been doing it for many many years successfully. Around 1000 fps and a 158 is my preferred target ammo, in 357 brass. Packs the punch and Isn’t difficult to shoot accurately. 180-200 is soft recoil.
Now Self defense ammo- that can be a different ball game. Yet 38 spl +p is no slouch and If indoors it’s preferable. Over 1200, Well- you know… It’s a tad Loud.
