the .357 mags for my rifle.

I never really got the point of a .357 carbine. I have a Ruger in .44
mag and it is pretty useless too. Not enough power for a hunting rifle
and not enough magazine capacity for a serious self defense weapon.
(also a PITA to load/unload)

I doubt I have fired it a dozen times and when I tried hunting with
it, I lost more rounds than I shot.

I don't hunt, but both the .357 and .44 carbines will drop a deer at at
least 100-125 yards. That's the length of a football field. What are you
hunting down there in SW Florida? Armadillos?

It was in Maryland and a .357 does not meet the minimum energy
requirement for deer. The .44 barely makes it?

I'll keep that mind the next time I'm not hunting deer.
