Very nice pistol Cody, I did a lot of research on which 357 round was best for me. I hunted alligators for 30 years and was always looking for better stopping power. I came across an article by Chuck Hawks where he showed his findings on what he considered the most effective round for stopping  power on the market regardless of caliber.  I shot many large gators with this round through the years and it was good night Irene on all of them. No moving, no nerves twitching, no tail moving, just good night Irene. I only shot a few hogs with this round but outcome was the same. Here is an exert from the Chuck Hawks article I saved years ago. I use the Federal C357B.

        The most effective handgun round on the market, regardless of caliber, is the Federal .357 Magnum 125 grain jacketed hollowpoint (C357B). This load has more stopping power than any other handgun cartridge and this includes more powerful rounds like the .41 and .44 Magnums. I advise all experienced revolver men to carry the legendary Federal C357B or the equally good Remington full-power 125 grain semi-jacketed hollowpoint (R357M1) in a .357 revolver.
