if it turns out ya don't like the recoil er anything.....i got a 10" 357mag(be good for 357max rechamber also), 2.5x scope, mount, 200rnds of new win brass, n maybe a bunch of 180gr penn cast boolits i'd trade ya for it
i'd THINK the 180gr hornady ssp should work for hogs, deer, n bear. shoots great in my 35rem, but of course the 358 will even get more velocity......and punishment on your end
elk.....better let others give a view there, but what about a 225gr nosler bt?
