There's nothing marginal about the .357mag, only poor bullet choices for the intended target. Don't underestimate what a 180gr. hard cast can do. No flies on a sturdy 170gr+ JSP either.


Well, if you've ever shot a deer with a .45 caliber 265gr SWCHP traveling at 1050fps, you would know different. Simply no comparison.
