The only hunter I know who killed deer recently with a .357 took a six point buck and a doe one season with 158 grain Mag Tech hollowpoint rounds. The doe took one shot. The buck was running on empty from a shot to the chest, but running, when the guy put another into its hip area. He felt that the second shot was probably not needed afterward, but at the time it seemed a good idea.
