With less than a 3" barrel I dont think it matters not one bit.
I have tested a lot of loads one deer necks and heads, until you get to a 4" 357 your just shooting pea shooters, and even then a 357 is not impressive at all.
All the auto rounds leave a entrance hole that's lost in the hair, exit holds not much better if there is one.
Shot a deer that was getting up with my 45 in the Boilermaker at just yards!!!
Had to put one in its neck to!!!
The only mixed load I carry will be two 357, 38 wadercuters, and acouple shot shells in a revolver
