What can't one do with a .357 Magnum?
Knock down heavy steel rams at 200 meters reliably.
The 357 Maximum was designed for silhouette competition were you needed a really flat shooting cartridge with enough power to knock over the rams without the recoil that would come with a 44 magnum.

Launching a .357" 180gr. to 200gr. bullet at ~1500 fps was the perfect solution at the time.
