I hunt in Germany; you cannot hunt with handguns, however, you are allowed to carry a handgun to dispatch game. With that comes the possibility of wounded wild boar, which are known to severly injure or even kill hunters. The preferred .357 load is a 158 gr. semi jacketed soft point. You can't get too many flavors of that load here, but in the US you've got lots to chose from. It is also the preferred load for rifles in .357 for hunting in the US, although many prefer 180 gr. For a 4" revolver 158 is the preferred here. I carry Fiocchi's 158 gr. SJSP by recommendation of the hunting crowd that have actually used it.
