Hi Dan. I have hunted around Cisco alot with a marlin 16" carbine in .357.
I have used everything from 145 gr. silvertips to the federal castcore 180's.
What seems to work the best is the Win. 180 gr. supreme partition gold.
Although not the most accurate in that little gun it is by far the best stopper.
Unless you hit the shoulder blade with the Federals be prepared to track 'em. That hardcast just blows right through. It is better suited to hogs than deer.
