They were 180gr, huh?  Then that's definately geared towards hunting and
_not_ towards defense, because despite the light/heavy bullet arguments,
most everyone would agree that a 180gr .357 round is extremely heavy,
like about a 300gr bullet in .44mag or a 350gr in .45 caliber.  Great for
stopping large, tough, charging animals but not the typical home invader.
Unless you have several of them in a row...
