How about expanding the .357 Magnum line with some heavier bullets? I'm thinking of the 170 grain Gold Dot soft point, the 180 grain XTP, and a 180 grain hard cast. The rationale behind this is hot medium game loads, which would seem to be right up DoubleTap's alley. These loads would be great for those of us with .357 carbines.
There are some factory loads using these bullets, but they don't seem that hot - Speer loads the 170gr Gold Dot SP at 1180, and Winchester has a 180gr Partition Gold at 1180. Of course Buffalo Bore and Grizzly have some hot loads, but in the heavier bullet weights you're pretty much limited to 180gr hard casts.
