There are lighter .357 Mag. revolvers to pack and more powerful, finely made revolvers to hunt with, but there will always be a place for an accurate, premium-built revolver with the power of the .357 Mag.

357 Magnum revolver was very popular with FBI agents during the 1930s and 1940s.
The Registered Magnum had a specially heat-treated cylinder and case-head recesses to improve its overall strength.
Many law enforcement officers ordered their . 357 Magnum revolvers with Smith & Wesson's grip adaptor for enhanced control.

hard cast gas check bullets cast from 95% ww alloy and 5% pure tin by weight, cast like the linked bullet mold below,
seem to work very effectively in a 357 mag revolver ,as the bullets penetrate very well yet still expand a bit on impact.
if loaded with a firm crimp and the longest length the revolver cylinder allows for hunting
