About the Cartridge

Smith & Wesson introduced this cartridge for its heavy-frame revolver. Ammunition was developed by Winchester in cooperation with Smith & Wesson. Using a lengthened and strengthened version of the .38 Special case, the .357 Magnum was rapidly accepted by hunters and law enforcement. At the time of its introduction, it was claimed to easily pierce the body panels of automobiles and crack engine blocks. While it has less power than the .44 Magnum, it compares favorably to the 10mm Norma and .45 ACP, but with better armor penetration. Today factories offer over fifty different loadings in this caliber.

Thought I was trading UP but ............OUCH!

LCR 357mag 1.88-in PF 16874400, recoil 16.56Ft# NO ONE wanted to even try one shot but I could find bulleyes & PD ammo to shoot 15-30rnds weekly. LCRx 357mag 3-in PF 185018, recoil 15.19Ft# found all this ammo recoil so severe, practice was reduced to 3-5rnds/week and finally reduced to SOME 38spl +P but NOT ALL !?!?!?! WTH? Guessing the barrel length added more recoil? Am sure I would now change recoil data to 12+ Ft# LCR 16+ Ft# LCRx as better starting places. UGH, now LCRx using 38spl ratings PF 11600, recoil 7.06Ft# so other better options like 1) Hellcat Pro staring at me with PF 132804 9mm +P, recoil 6.84Ft# & capacity superiorities. 2) 357mag loyalty S&W 627 2.62-in 357mag PF 180278 recoil 8.29Ft# + 8-shot - heavier - no CT green laser grips (only red) - S&W cancelled lifetime warranty on my SW327NG Night Guard 357mag when the Lifetime Warranty barrel blew off at range last year = Sorry, Charlie, long list of excuses to follow.
