Around this part of the country, the average shot taken on white tail deer, is 30 yards. I can get much closer. I have not taken a deer with this gun because I was not comfortable with the shots I have had.

I am comfortable at 30 yards if the deer is turned just right. I use 158 grain Hornady XTP JHP's.
I like the .357 round and I love that gun. 65-4 4"

Have a good one,
gordon
