My father-in-law has given me a never been fired SW 27-2 357 Mag with a 5" barrel. Can anyone give me a few specifics on this gun? ie. is it strong enough to handle some of the 185gr loads that have been posted on this site? I'm thinking that it might be a good choice to start hunting some of small whitetails here in SC. Most of my hunting is done in heavy cover where shots seldom exceed 50 yards, and I know that the 357 mag with proper handloads will take deer sized game at that range. Thanks.
