Propforce, at typical handgun ranges I'd agree.
But if the OP has skill to stretch out further, or typical carbine ranges there's a difference.
At 100yrds I feel much better served on whitetails with my 44's. Plus more blood to aid in tracking is never a bad thing.
The OP said this in his last post........
My use for 44 Mag (or 357 if I get one) is just for range fun and the thrill of the hand cannon. No self defense, and unlikely to hunt.
So no hunting with a carbine for shooting whitetails @ 100 yards, and no need for a bigger blood trail. Shooting all day at the range, the .357 will still give you the thrill of a handcannon without being abusive. For most folks, they are more accurate with a .357 because of less recoil. Many folks go to the range to enjoy a days worth of shooting. It's more fun when you can hit what you point at, more fun if it doesn't hurt when you pull the trigger and paying less for the ammo means most can afford to do more of both. Now I realize that some folks think that more noise, more flash and more recoil makes for more fun. It depends on what you expect from a handgun. I have both .357s and .44s in multiple handgun and carbine platforms, and enjoy the 'ell outta both. I also would not want to be without either.
