2005年9月6日 · Georgia Arms "Deerstoppers" are as hot as I have seen any commercial .357 Magnum....158 grain Gold Dot JHP at 1475 feet per second, for over 700 foot-pounds of energy. I have about 50 rounds of that stuff on my ammo shelf somewhere.

2020年10月22日 · Don't know how you might define "best", but the Buffalo Bore 180 HVR mentions is the most powerful factory or handloaded ammo I can recall ever using in a .357 revolver. It actually does the advertised 1400 FPS in my 4" revolvers, and in a 5.5"Ruger Bisley 1514 FPS, believe it or not.

2024年4月19日 · The .357 might be more powerful on paper, but I don't buy that in real life and especially not with the short barrel. The only advantage would be the ability to use .38 Special for certain applications and the general availability of ammo. But you can reload and have light loads in a .44, too. I vote for the .44 Special.

2008年11月26日 · For most of it's lifetime, S.O.P. was to practice with .38 Wadcutters or .38 RNL ammo and use the .357 Magnum on duty. Instructors believed it was sufficient to use low-powered loads to develop good shooting habits and techniques that would carry over under stress, even with the much more powerful .357 Magnum loads.

2012年10月14日 · Limited as in I like to be able to hunt out to ~75 or so yards when thinking about deer. I would have a hard time shooting over 50 at a deer with a 357 magnum. A 6" would add to this. 38 special is super accurate ammo, in general. In a good, K to N frame 357 magnum, I think accuracy could be superb like 2.5 - 4.0 at 50 yards!

2014年2月25日 · In my experience, the only way that a .44 Magnum is going to have roughly the same recoil as a .357 Magnum is if either the .44 is a very heavy gun or the .357 is a very light gun. I currently own four S&W .357 Magnum revolvers: a 2 …

2015年8月16日 · I'm a big fan of the Liberty 9mm ammo. Every time I shoot it and read about it, I like it more. I was very surprised, though, by the new 357 magnum offering. The 9mm is 50 grains and 2,000 fps. The 357 is 50 grains and 2,100 fps.

2017年11月3日 · One guy, 2 guns proves nothing. I've done the same test My 4" Glock 9mm pistols shooting 124 gr ammo runs 1250-1300 fps. My 4" Smith 28 mag 357 shooting 125 gr ammo runs about 1300-1350. Lots of others have repeated the same tests and got similar results. No one said that 9mm was as fast or faster than 357.
