NoSecondBest, those bullets tell alot. I myself have shot close to 150 head of big game, but few with a handgun. I collect bullets recovered from game as well but as stated most of mine were rifle rounds and most of the game were elk and mule deer. The few animals I took with handgun were early in my hunting career and handgun expanding bullets were far from state of the art in those days. After seeing that buffalo taken with the Hornaday XTP bullet I was wondering how they preformed in a 357. You have answered that question. Could you post a few picks of the Winchester bullets as well?
