700xcr, I've got the same scope on a Ruger77/357 and have thought about a reticle change. Decided to stick with the duplex because I think it works better with smaller size targets. If it was only for deer hunting I would change it. Let's face it 357's get used a lot more like a 22 than a big game, two shots a year, rifle.
Thor300Dakota, if your talking varmits, I agree. Bullets for deer are a different thing. Rifle length barrels turn all of the hollow point bullets (that I have tried-including xtp's) into varmint bullets. If you like XTP's use the flat point XTP or a good cast bullet on the larger stuff.
I would love to replace the Ruger with a nice older Marlin. Some day I'll find one.
That's my thoughts.
