Since I already have supplies to reload for the 357 I can build a load that produces more energy than the 10mm. So I may go that route.Last edited by mrc; 02-13-2018, 02:01 PM.

I have shot big pigs with both a 10mm and 357 with heavy hand loads and while it does the job I don't think I would be comfortable with it against a bear. If it is what you are comfortable with then by all means use it, it is better than nothing. I have recently worked up a load in my 4" 629 with a 310 WFN at about 1200 fps that is a real hammer. I had a GP 100 once that had a tight forcing cone and didn't like cast bullets, every time I shot it lead peeled off the bullets and hit you in face. I might of had a bad one but you might check into it if you go that route.

I simply don't want to be the guy that has nothing at all for backup. I will mainly use the 357 as a hunting round here at home chasing pigs and such. If I were a full time guide in bear country I would be looking into a much larger round. Bear spray will be the primary deterrent.
