357 magnum and 45 are not target rounds unless your target has flesh and

Actually I know quite a few guys who shoot targets with 45s. The
recoil is not that bad and they do their own reloads, usually on the
soft side. Shooting a 357 magnum for fun strains my credibility a
bit however.
My Kimber .45 is absolutely spectacular for shooting targets.

Oh absolutely, the Kimber 45 is a very sweet gun. Let me know if you
ever want to sell it. On the other hand, a 357 magnum, unless
downloaded to low velocity 38s, is a very unpleasant to shoot (except
Harry's of course).

My .357 has a long barrel and is compensated so it really has very
little recoil. My .44 Magnum is the same with an even longer barrel and
a 2X pistol scope on top. Very little muzzle flip.
