You need to check your sources. These were 115 grain 9mm, and there are also 124 grain that I know of, which is the NATO standard I think. There are .357 loads as light as 110 grain, on up to at least 158 grain bullets, and several sizes in between.
Admittedly I do not have a chronometer to check for myself. I'm going off of what more expert people than me have said on various gun/shooting shows on the Sportsman Channel and on You Tube reviews.

Alright, so barring your specialty loads, the .357 Magnum cartridge is typically a heavier and more stable load. Either way, .357 or 9x19mm, you're still operating a pistol cartridge that isn't designed to be effective beyond 100 yards. You knew all that, sure, but it sounds like you're firing these rounds out of a lever-action?
If you're firing lever-action then you're firing rimfire. That is going to hurt you right there and not only because of the rimfire itself. You're also going to see rounds perform poorly at range because they aren't cone shaped.
Basically, you're firing a pistol round that isn't designed to be very effective at range and firing it out of a weapon that was notoriously inaccurate at range compared to larger caliber centerfire rifles.
So, while it's the poor craftsman that blames his tools, in this case I'd just say you've found out the limits of the rifle. You sound like you shoot all the time and my guess is that the combination of a relatively small pistol round and a historically inaccurate rifle are the trouble.

Are...are you pregnant too?

grins as eyes widen excitedly, she claps her hands together and generally finds it hard to stand still
Have no fear...
winks conspiratorially

holds up a finger to indicate 'one minute' before dropping to her hands and knees and running her palms over the floor
rolling her eyes, how hard can it be to find an invisible, imaginary key?!

stops, sighs, smacks her forehead with her palm before standing up and putting a hand into her pocket and withdrawing the spare invisible, imaginary key.
another mime follows to unlock and unzip lips and she smiles bashfully
Silly Brit! Forgot about the spare didn't I...now, what was it I was going to say...?

A lot of strange randomness, but ended with me agreeing to go out on a date with one of my guy friends, who is a nice guy, but no that would never happen. Dreams are odd.

I rarely remember my dreams, but I actually had a weird one last night.
I was graduating from high school again, and we had to ride these escalators to get to where the graduation was. We realized after we'd gone from escalator to escalator that we were just going in circles, though, and had been on the same set of escalators for like an hour.
Then, suddenly we were going to some party afterwards, and were running along the highway but I had no shoes on. There was a huge accident at the end of some ramp, but it was all dark.. like they just left the smashed up cars there, but there was no police or people around. So we had to run around it, and the highway was like deserted and dark, but for whatever reason the place our party was at was brightly shining in the distance.
...and then I woke up.
