...but I do realize that the .357 is by nature a loud sort of beast that can probably only be tamed so far before it is only a .38 in all but name.
You said it. My load is 5.0g of Red Dot under 158g SWC bullet. This is a 1000fps load and easy(er) on the ears yet will still reach out and tap 'em good. If I need more power, I reach for the .44Spec. More than that the .45 Colt. And according to Linebaugh and Seyfried that is all I should ever need.

Single Action .45 Colt (Sometimes colloquially referred to by its alias as the .45 'Long' Colt or .45LC). Don't leave home without it. That said, the .44Spec is right up their too... but the .45 Colt is still the king.
