I have a .44, but have owned several .357s. I would rather have the .357, but I don't hunt much big game with these rifles. The guy I bought the .44 from killed elk with it I am pretty sure.
Yep,it worked quite well. I also killed elk with a 30-30 though.
I prefer the .357 though for what I need. I have a nice light Rossi Model 92. Rides in an antique scabbard made for 92's. Fits under the saddle fender without a bulge, and will handily take care of the camp robbing Raccoons, coyotes etc, and will sure as heck scare bear away. I would not be using it to kill one unless it is something I could not avoid.I would have no concern of hunting deer with it, if that is all I had.
