Nah, not enough penetration. He needs a .44 magnum or a 12ga. slug/flare gun.

So I should trash the .357 magnum? It's a S&W model 28, and heavy as hell. I suppose it'd make a
decent beach anchor.

.357 is a great cartridge. They just fell out of favor when people
decided they needed 20 rounds to get the job done and they migrated to
the inferior 9mm.

I am really surprised someone has not gone back to the 38 super with a
slight case modification and a .357 ballistic payload. You could
double stack them for a 18-19 round mag.


The model28 is a revolver. But it shoots well, and I've put a lot of .38 rounds thru it.
