I never use buffalo bore ammo. I just don't. If I want heavier than standard ammo I hand load, and most often I try to pick a caliber that will already do what I want it to.
This is all I have ever needed in a 357 for anything from deer to hog. 75 yards is about the furthest I shoot with one, but then again thats what I limit my 30-30 to. Why? not because its the limit of the gun but it is the limit of me. If I shoot beyond 75 yards I have a nice bolt action 270 with a scope on it. Period. See the link and info below.

keep in mind this is NOT sold as +p ammo only as regular 357 mag, however magtechs policy is to label almost all of its MAG (edited to add ON THE HOMEPAGE) anything ammo as +P lest some numbnuts decide he can put one in a el cheapo 38 and get away with it. As you can see the BOX does not label it this way, and midwayusa does not label it this. I have shot this in a variety of 357s and have NEVER had a failure, NOR a powder/primer induced flyer. The recoil is milder that many HPs I have fired in the 357 mag flavor.

Then I commended mirth, because a man hath no better thing under the sun, than to eat, and to drink, and to be merry: for that shall abide with him of his labour the days of his life, which God giveth him under the sun. - Ecclesiastes 8:15 KJV
"The gun has been called the great equalizer, meaning that a small person with a gun is equal to a large person, but it is a great equalizer in another way, too. It insures that the people are the equal of their government whenever that government forgets that it is servant and not master of the governed." - 40th President of the United States Ronald Reagan 1911-2004
