Sometimes they will surprise you.  You won't really know until you shoot them.  The 180 ought to be fine in the .357 though.

My Colt Anaconda handles 336 grain LFN gas checked cast bullets just fine.  Outside of the Alaskan browns I don't think there's an animal in N. America that can't be taken with it.  That's just MHO.

Never mind bullet weight - use Greenhill's formula:

 Bullet Length = 150 diameter Squared divided by twist.

This may not be the most up to date information, but it gets you closer than most.
