From the loading bench: Loading the .357 Magnum

Article Abstract:

A .357 Magnum revolver, launched in 1935 by Smith & Wesson, shoots anything from the mildest target loads up to bullet weights and loadings that are entirely suitable for deer-size game at close range. The real benefit that comes along with the .357 Magnum is incredible versatility for a handgun cartridge.
