.357Mag. Remington 125gr.SJHP 583 foot-pounds
.357Mag. Remington Med.Vel. 125g 413 foot-pounds
.40S&W Federal Hydra-Shok 180gr.JHP 361 foot-pounds
.40S&W Rem.Golden Saber 165gr.JHP 485 foot-pounds
The power difference between .357 mag and .40 is not THAT much. Shot placement is going to be far more important. The .40 is going to have more rounds available with or without reloads.
Personally I'm hankering for both a 10mm and a .44mag. Hiking in the woods is my excuse, but I know it is lame. The 13 rounds of .357 auto I carry constantly in my Glock is more than enough here in wolf country.
