I am 71 and still deer hunt with a single shot most times. The times I take a MSR is coyotes and hogs where multiples shots are possible. I too use a 357 Max and it leaves nothing wanted 200 yds and in. I can shoot 38, 357, 360 DW, and 357 Max from the same gun. I reload and can make it do what I want from small game to medium large. I see the latest crop of cartridges aim at selling more rifles and ammo to the aforementioned JDC.
