The .357 will be much more fun to shoot, especially for a woman, with significantly less recoil. Contrary to popular belief, the cartridge becomes a whole nuther animal when handloaded for a rifle. You get another 300-500fps out of the longer barrel. It is nipping on the heels of the .35Remington with heavy loads. A fine 100yd deer rifle.
