Versatile caliber

The .357 Magnum, like the .44 Magnum revolver, has the advantage of being able to be downloaded. Mid-range loads are more pleasant to shoot and I would ask why you would need full-house loads for informal plinking or practice? I've had a Model 65 since the mid-80s and I don't think I've run a dozen .357 Mag. loads through it as there's no need for me to do so.

My carry and home defense guns are 9mm and .45 ACP. For these, I shoot both lead and plated bullets (but no lead bullets in my Glocks) for practice and factory loads for social encounters of the worst kind.
