For two and four legged vermin, the 357 is great. For deer? Negative. A 357 was my first handloaded cartidge some 40 years ago. I've seen all these whoopdedoo loads recently with 180 and 200gr bullets. The reason I got a 41 and 44 Mag was I couldn't get the performance. The Oehler 33 don't lie, a 200 JHP in 41Mag, travelling 1400fps cannot be approached by any 357, safely.
