That's exactly how I was thinking. When ya look back , the original .357 magnum loads push a 158gr bullet at 1500fps. (Bad choice to use a soft swaged lead bullet though as they cause severe leading.) I have fired some 'vintage' .357 loads along with some modern stuff , and ya can definately tell the diff from the recoil and noise.
