I wonder with ammo like this if there's any reason to own a revolver in a larger caliber other than competition shooting.

I mean, I love my .45 wheelguns, but it wouldn't be much fun hauling them around in the woods when a .357 that weighs half as much is available.
Gel is cute and, offers a test medium that is exactly the same for all projectiles.

In something that has muscle, sinew, bones and other hard stuff, a hard cast .41. .44 and other big bores will have the added weight to continue to push through and, make a bigger hole for the hydraulic fluid to leak out of.

Not to take anything away from that .357. That’s a very substantial bullet. And, I carry a .357 Magnum A lot. But, if I KNEW something big and furry were out to get me, I’d be carrying a .44 with those kind of bullets.
