          that 357 loading is also from a five inch barrel at 1400 fps, it gets 1375fps from a 4 inch barrel, which is the comparable test barrel to the 10mm loading (5 inch) when you account for the chamber
          So the most energetic loads they sell for each are only 25fps apart
          Within the variation of one round to the next and not enough difference to make a difference, eh?

              Saying bullet A will be more effective than bullet B based on kinetic energy is asinine.
              Force is a better(but not perfect) number to quickly compare separate cartridges, but it has also been known again, for at least 40 years, that with handgun bullets literally the only factor is penetration, then if you can get adequate penetration in the proper place, sure a bigger surface area of the bullet doesn't hurt, but still isn't a huge factor, especially when compared to magazine capacity and how fast you can get accurate follow up shots.
              Most this information has been out for longer than most anon have been alive, I don't see why you parrot wierd marketing wank.

              Are you serious? Any object with mass impacting another object with mass causes a transfer in energy.
              Kinetic energy is the entire basis for why projectile weapons work, period.
              A bullet has kinetic energy, and when it impacts a target, kinetic energy is transferred to tissue. It's literally fricking high school physics.

                What do you think happens when a bullet stops in someone?

                Handgun bullets stopping in tissue do not cause enough hydrostatic shock to damage tissue. The act of the bullet going through the target itself is what damages tissue, things the bullets actually touch. That's why flat meplat semi-wadcutters are considered to be the most damaging round. It rips and tears instead of spearing through.

                Jacketed hollow points do as well, but the reasoning for their creation was because of overpenetration by NYC police department. Penetration and shot placement are the most important factors of stopping a threat with a handgun bullet. A 9mm round passing through 3 inches from someone's heart won't rip the heart to shreds like some people believe. This is also why fmj is illegal for hunting and never recommended, and why hardcast semi-wadcutters are one of the most popular bear defense round.

                .22lr and .25 acp carry less energy than a baseball pitched by a 12 year old and will cause zero hydrostatic shock in tissue. I don't care what ballistics gel (basically fat for comparison to human cells) implies. It isn't real tissue.

                Start talking about 5.56 or 7.62x39 and yeah, hydrostatic shock exists and bullet tumble will absolutely shred your ass.

                Any KE contributes to the permanent wound cavity, just look at gel tests. 9mm and the like don't create massive cavitation, but you can see a wound channel wider than the projectile on entry.
                It's also where you see Magnum handguns blowing 9mm and the like out of the water. Modern hollow points are engineered to do 3 things. First, penetrate to the desired depth. Second, create the largest possible wound channel via expansion. Third, dump all of the energy into the target. All of these things assist in incapacitation. Your view that it's only for penetration is myopic.

                Gel is meant to be an analog for soft tissue, yes. It isn't a perfect replica, but it's close enough to capture all the relevant physics. Generally a permanent cavity in gel has some correspondence to a permanent cavity in flesh.

          Budget would be nice, because I see that these things are going for a lot of money, even the budget ones. Seems like a Marlin that's just a few decades old is $1000+ and that's real money for a gun when those dollars are competing against a good bolt action or good quality AK/AR. I'd prefer a moderate size (think white tail) brush rifle that is also fun to shoot as well. Tacticool isn't necessary and I'm not even sure I'd put a scope on it, probably just some nice peep sights or something. The whole field is open though.

      We can agree on that much. I'd personally rather a .41 wheelgun plus levergat, but the expense isn't worth the extra performance (for my personal uses). .357 is Güd Enuff™ for 98% of the same tasks, but offers a lot more flexibility with available market options.

          Nobody cares how dirty your Harry is. If you're gonna piss up super hot bubba loads for your particular unicorn, you need to do the same for everything else. .357 generates anywhere from low 400s up to over 900 ft-lbs depending on how you tweak a cartridge. The chart you're referencing normalized the cartridges for each caliber specifically to compare effect of barrel length, it wasn't comparing how large of a bomb you could detonate in your hand.

      Obscenely fun carbine. Good to 100 yard torso shots.
      Can be finicky about what ammo it likes,

      Can’t beat the deal for $600.

        Do the Rossi's now have their tangs drilled for sights like the Winchester '92s, or do you still have to get them drilled and tapped for a peep sight?

          Nope. Your only option without drilling your receiver with Rossi is pic rel. I use it on my 92 to hunt with and its been decent. Make sure you locktite everything into place tho. With 357 all your shots are gonna be inside 100 anyway so once I had my zero where I like I just locked everything down and know where to hold. Its been fine and I took 2 deer with it so far.

              That Ranger shit looks impressive, but they package it in a nickel-plated case. I can work with that strictly as a defense loadout, but what a fricking headache to get harassed over and over at ranges for "steel case."

              Not seeing I'd reload 9mm, but sucks to eliminate the option just in case maybe.

              The 985 FPS velocity & 317 ft/lbs is surprising. I'd have expected more like 1050-1080 FPS to get those ft/lbs more in the 330/340-ish territory. Maybe it was a needed compromise to keep the PSI under 35,000? And, 4" test barrel seems a bit much. Would have expected more like a 3", especially with the other ballistic numbers.

                Whoa now let me stop you there. You should really stop looking at the numbers until you understand how they're derived and why you can't "compromise on the ft-lbs".
                It's (m.v^2)/450240 if you're working in ft/s and grains. You'll note there's just speed and weight, there is no magical "add more ft-lbs to taste" part.

          SD sez same expansion with a heavier bullet at the same velocity means more penetration. You're probably comparing 125 gr xtp's to 115 gr 9mm loads, where the metrics will naively be similar in regards to max expansion and penetration depth. However, you have to consider that even in that case the .357 is dumping a ton of energy into a substantially larger permanent wound cavity. 158 or 180 gr loads will have similar expansion with far deeper penetration, and in theory you could design bullets that could expand far more in that weight range while still getting adequate penetration. The real big dick move is to just use Lehigh XD bullets and not rely on a piece of metal getting wider for your wounding. Much less picky conversion of energy to damage there. Point being, 9mm gays really are delusional enough to think the wounding is just as good as .357 lol.

    The cool thing about more modern .357 Mag lever actions is that, with a re-loader setup, suppressor, and an action that handles .38 wad cutters, 158gr subsonic loads will murder the ever loving shit out of garden trespassing rodents inside 50y very quietly. Plus you can still zap hogs out to 75-100y with spicy hand loaded 157 or 180gr .357 hollow points.

              Your data is bad. Buffalo bore advertises a 2150 fps 158 gr load, that's 1600 ft-lbs, or on the bottom end of .30-30. I've personally loaded 158 gr at 2000 fps, or 1400 ft-lb. Of course, BB sells a 2150 ft-lb load for 30-30, but last I checked that's not a factor of 2.

          I disagree there. 158gr Federal JSP .357 is less than $.70 a pop, 158gr JHP are still under $.90, while .30-30 is well over a dollar a round. This is assuming you don't need .30-30 performance, which is obviously a faster and shoits well past 100y.

          You're right that it will never be equivalent to a rifle round, but that's okay. It still chases 2000fps with 158gr bullets, 1800fps with 180gr, uses a straight wall cartridge which saves time on case prep, and also shoots a cheaper subsonic round for safely running steel plates at 10y.

          All depends on your needs. I hunt eastern woods and the farthest deer I ever shot is like 60 yds. I use 357 bc its light, almost no recoil out of a carbine, and quiet enough I don't feel like I need ear plugs. I've even shot a few deer and instead of running they just kinda hunch up and then walk off and keel over dead 10 seconds later bc there is no loud report that freaks them out. Very little meat damage too. Its great if you have the conditions for it. I would not use it beyond 100yds tho, with 75 being kinda a realistic max. I don't even use buffalo bore or any crazy shit just regular 158 grn PMC soft point.

    My grandfather used to hunt deer with his Winchester levergun in 357 Magnum when he was in a hurry, but loved to stalk them with his registered magnum 8 and 3/4". He was a very well practiced shot though, he usually handed me the 30-30 levergun or Garand when I was with him because they gave me a little breathing room, and "would put hair on my chest".

    I like the theory of 10mm taking the place of .357 magnum for modern guns, but it just can't do the same things for the same guns. I kind of lust after the Smith 610s as the next generation of high power carriable revolvers that can take a cheap training caliber for plinking, but there are so many stories of bullets unseating from the cases in the cylinder due to recoil. The bullets just don't seem to be designed for that.
