The Magnum is one of my favorite calibers. I have seen its effect, and the .357 has my respect. The Hornady Handgun Hunter load clocks 1,305 fps in a four-inch barrel.
This is the revolver I carry in the wild when hiking or spelunking. I am certain the six-inch Python would be more accurate and generate greater velocity, but this is my most commonly carried Magnum.
Penetration is an impressive 24 inches. Average expansion is .62 inches. This load doesn’t demonstrate excessive recoil or muzzle blast.
Accuracy is excellent at 1.6 inches for five shots at 25 yards, as good as I can hold and as fine an accuracy as this revolver has ever demonstrated.
This is a good choice for thin-skinned game or for the big cats and general hunting chores.
