For *me* the most unpleasant part of any '357 magnum' recipe, is not the recoil, but rather 1) muzzle blast noise; and 2) muzzle flash.
Those are dependent on variable of powders used and other details.
I really don't care to shoot most '357 magnum' loads because they annoy me.
I prefer the 41 magnum as it just sounds different, as does the 44 special.
This is not to bash any metric of 357 magnum, just to mention something I rarely see in such discussions. Even the heavy loads decades ago when trying to develop suitable loads for IMHSA, and in fondness for the historic recipes of the great Skeeter Skelton.
Too much treble-range sonics for me. 38 special somehow escapes that bit of annoyance.
