For my 63rd birthday I bought a M686P/4", practice load for 125gr JHPs is AA#7/1430fps, that compares very well to the proven Remington 125gr SJHP chronogrphed 1456fps/DW/4".
Carry load at my property for 125gr JHP/SJHP is AA #9/1560fps. What the additional velocity gives me is distance on four legged vermin, one of the primary reasons for carrying the 357 mag in rural areas.
The scandium N-frame M327 TRR8 is pleasant to shoot with full power loads. Since the first week of March, I've shot 500 rounds of 357 mag out of both revolvers and I practice with a lot of leg movement.
Carried the mag back in the day and learned a long time ago not to carry this caliber in a small frame platform.
The mag is still the personal defense caliber that all others are compared to.
