I am glad to see shooters picking up on the killing power of the .357 Mag, in both rifles and handguns. Of course the secret was the outstanding hard cast and jacketed bullets in the 175 gr to 185 gr class. We had used Remington's 180 gr factory load with great success on deer and hogs here in Florida for some time in the Marlin carbines and handguns. After discussions with Marshall and Contender, we have moved over the the 185 gr BTB from Marshall and the 175 OWC from Contender. Our 185 BTb sits on top of 16 gr of WW296 that cracks over the clock at 1700+'/" rom Marlins 16 1/2" barrel
