I have a dan wesson model 15-2 with an 8" barrel.I am in the process of putting a scope on it and am planning to hunt whitetail deer and black bear with it.My problem is I am not sure what ammo to buy that will give me the one shot one kill method of hunting I prefer.Do I want a heavy hollow point or soft point? what about hornady lever evolution for .357 mag?Would I be better off with a flat nose? I am not sure which route to go here so some advice would be appreciated.Thanks in advance for any help offered.
