The 357 Herrett can be a thumper too, depending upon how you load it up. Take a look here for some reload data to give you a better idea of where it falls among other cartridges:

Reload Bench 357 Herret Data

I have a 10" 357 Herrett Barrel that shoots well. I wouldn't hesitate to use it on deer out to 200 yards. Some may stretch it further than that, but that would be my comfort range with it. I have other barrels/guns for longer range.

IMHO, the Herrett cartridges really shine in a 10" barrel. In the 14" barrel there are better rounds available. IE - the 30-30 AI, or 309 JDJ, are great in a 14" barrel, but you won't find many 10" barrels in these calibers. The 30 Herrett, on the other hand, is just about right in a 10" tube. The same could be said for the 35 caliber cartridges, with the 357 Herrett a great choice in the 10”.
