    The 357 magnum round is one of those bullets that just gives the shooter a feeling of power, and what power this round has. The 357 magnum is capable of doing what ever job you need it to do, and doesn't fall short at all. The bullet has been used from law enforcement, to military, to the civilian market. Ever since its design, the 357 has been know for stopping a target with as little as one shot, do to the massive trauma that this bullet creates as it enters the body. Through out the years the 357, mixed with the revolver or rifle that you use has been keeping people safe and is still one of the most popular revolver bullet on the market. If you are going to be buying a revolver or rifle chambered in the 357, you cant go wrong from self protection all the way to hunting. Let the reputation this round has developed over the years to be the judge. But to me, it will always be the best revolver bullet choice you can make.
