52gr of h322 with starline brass has shot great in my Marlins. These are 100yd groups with 405 rem JSP they run right at 1900fps
My dad has a 94 in 357 that has killed a boatload of deer with 158 gr speer JSP @ 1750fps. There was no better rigle for still hunting standing corn! I'll see if I can gets my dads load for you.
I'd like to get the 44 or 45 just because Alaskan critters are a touch bigger than deer. I've seen the 357 on deer, very effective out to 100 yards maybe a touch more. Dad killed one at 130 yards one year, but most have been from 10-70 yards.
