I was going to add this to my previous post and changed my mind.
I find it interesting how the 357 mag was marketed in its early days and some people using it for hunting dangerous game and protection from 4-legged predators. It really was a powerful cartridge for the time.
Now the predator protection issue usually goes to 44 magnum for the most part. Folks in black bear country offen use the 357 mag for that purpose but where bigger bears are present, the argument usually goes to 41/44 magnum or more powerful these days.
