I recommend taking a look at buying a nice starter reloading setup like the Anniversary kit from Lee and some components and brewing your own up.
Factory ammo is limited in scope, with hand loading, you can do what you want and get the expected results.
Taurus does allude to one of the reasons why the cops quit carrying 357mags and started carrying 38specials, the over penetration.
The 357mag is a great round but can easily over penetrate.
I don't think that the Ruger you bought is going to be as light as the Smith.
