The Hornady .357 LEVERevolution was designed to flatten the trajectory and extend the range of the .357 in a lever-action rifle; not to mention having a pointed bullet that was safe for a tube mag. None of that applies to a handgun where the range is intentionally kept short. The 140gr bullet is a little too light, IMO, for hunting deer with a handgun as well. The 180gr WLN from Buffalo Bore has almost a cult following because of its performance. The main thing is that you'd better be really accurate with your revolver. The .357 doesn't give you any room for error.
