Personally prefer the 44 special with 200 gn GD's @ 900 fps (handloads). Does not mean this load is more effective than the 357, just less concussion, blast and recoil than full bore loads from short .357. Again, just a personal preference.
The .357 Win factory Silvertip load has been the most accurate full bore factory load put through all the 357 mag revolvers owned, and a 16 in Marlin. The accuracy may have alot to do with the bullet itself, as first attempts with handloaded 145 silvertips are also very accurate.
