With good bullets I'd take a 223 over 357.

Being a lefty complicates things. I much prefer a bolt gun, but levers work better for lefty's, unless you buy a left handed bolt gun. FWIW my brother is lefty, has tried everything, including left handed bolt guns, and still prefers a right handed bolt rifle. He just learned how to use it from the wrong side.
