Hottest .357mag load?

[model 70]

thanks for the replies. i guess the fact of the matter is that i want a handgun. after reading all the replys to the many questions i ask i have determined that a 6" barreled .357 mag is the most versitile for the situations i myself would want to use it for(plinking, target shooting, home protection, small game, close-in predators and a saftey gun for REAL TIGHT cover black bear trailing). not the recoil of the .44mag and harder hitting than a .22mag which were my other choices. more reliable than a .40cal or even .45acp(i hunt/shoot in some really dusty conditions) and more "knock down" power to boot. i plan on putting MANY, MANY rounds through this gun so reliability is a factor.

i guess in the end i just wanted to find out what all i can do with this .357mag i'm looking to buy. what brand/model? not sure yet but what ever it is, it's gonna be a wheel gun in .357mag.

thanks.
