I also have a Rossi in 357 magnum. great plinking gun.
Couple issues you need to factor in with the 357 mag version.
The Rossi has a 1 in 30 twist rate, While a Marlin for example has a 1 in 16 twist rate.
1 in 16 would be the preferred twist for a gun you intend to hunt with.
My Rossi has real issues with bullets over 158 gr. I intended to take mine deer hunting but can not hit a 12 inch target at 50 yards. Just wont stabilize the heavies.
125 gr loads are a perfect match for this gun. I can shoot the bull out at 100 yards no problem all day long.
Some have said they can get the heavies to fly with their Rossi's. Not me.
If I were to do it again with the intent to shoot 180 gr loads. I would choose a marlin with the 1 in 16 twist.
