I have a Winchester Trapper (94)....(Had a Rossi 20" .357 in the 80s)....w/ a Skinner barrel rear peep sight..........
Both were/are good guns ......but at the time felt I was "stepping up" with the Winchester and wanted the shorter 16" barrel.
Both have been replaced as my "Utility gun" at the cabin by a Ruger 77/357.... stainless/polymer stock/ 5rd detachable mags...... bolt gun in .357 with a 1-3 Weaver shotgun scope and Skinner rear barrel (peep) sight as back up.
The rifles tend to be loaded with 158gr soft point .357s while my S&W 3" 66 or 3" 60-10...... tend to be loaded with +P.38s ....... with one or two speed loaders ...... the "Ammo Wallet" on the RZR tends to have a mix of .38 and .357s for the rifle.
But too your point same ammo will work in either gun......which is the whole point of the pistol caliber carbine.
Many comments have been written that the .357 come "close to 30/30 power" out of a 16 inch barrel.
