.357 mag bullet for deer?

[dan belisle]

When I got my 357 a guy suggested hms bear loads I belive they were 180gr hard cast. I didn’t take a deer with them or my 357 but I have killing everything else with my rifle, coyotes, gophers, beavers, magpies all with blazer 158 gr jsp. I wouldn’t hesitate to take a deer with the 158 gr jsp. My rifle key holes the fxt rounds so they were a no go. I have used them in my 45-70 on moose and they were great.

This. Or the solid silhouette 180 gr they used to sell. I've seen one of those go through a bears skull, and those are pretty thick. Drive it as fast as you safely can. - dan
