Nothing wrong with the 357Herrett
I've been hunting with one since the early 80's. The reason for the Herretts was more efficient use of powder within a prescribed space. Sorta like the short, fat cases of todays short magnums. A 35Rem would work fine too in my opinion. However the 357Herrett was my very first handgun hunting unit...and it served me just dandy. I've taken a shiton of muley and whitetail deer with it, 3 cow elk and I lost count of how many antelope its dropped. It was the only gun I used for many years, so I was very good with it. I used Sierra 180 SP's mostly, but also cast the SSK .358 180 gr TC for it also. Powder was varied, but I4198 got used alot.
