Sometimes I wonder if I've wandered onto the everytown for gun control board with all the arguments AGAINST purchasing a firearm here.
Good to hear you have had such success with the 357 carbine.
I'm shooting loads labeled at 1900 FPS. They still arc quite a bit. The recoil, compared to a 12ga with slugs, is mild. I will be using it in one form or another until I find a 357 max or something else shiny catches my eye.
In 357 max I can get a much flatter and lower recoiling shot with sufficient power at the ranges I require. I may even be able to carry both barrels at the same time and decide when I get set-up.
They should both be great cartridges to start reloading for also.
Someone at the SP forum gave me a lead on a 357 Max.
