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.

Even better, a 6" G40 over a 6" S&W 686. My custom G20L I developed back in 2004 carries 17+1 rds of 200grn hardcast hot 10mm ammo and weighs less than a 6" barreled S&W 686 with only 6rds of 200grn hot .357 Mag. That's 3 times the ammo load!! Even better, my hot 10mm loads in my G20L produce a bit higher velocities than my hot .357 Mag loads in the 686 do.
Now, if you were to add a .357 Mag levergun into the mix, then the 686 is better as my hot loads come alive in the longer barreled leverguns. Besides, if you're in bear country, just a pistol is a bit 'under gunned'.
