But for me a perfect cartridge must be rifle/handgun.
I opt for the .357 Magnum rather than the Maximum.
In reality the .38 Special is my favorite handgun,,,
A model 15 S&W is near perfection in my eyes.
It is more that adequate for self defense,,,
And is a gentle enough plinker at need.
But while the .357 can be loaded down for leisurely plinking,,,
It's also capable of being loaded to barrel melting power.
It is actually a more practical cartridge,,,
I would need to get a model 19.
