With so many "better" choices available, why would you want to restrict yourself with a 357 Mag? I know, I know everybody has their own attraction and opinion.

For the same money you could choose any one of the deer class calibers and set up a nice accurate 100-150 yard (or more) deer hunting gun that would be easy and fun to shoot and hunt with.

Not trying to talk you out of it, just trying to provide something to think about. Good luck either way.
