Personally I'm doubting the 158 gr. JHP's as a hunting load. I think I need something with more penetration.

I have shot several deer with .357 Mag. None went very far. 158gr JSPs made a hole on both sides of the deer I shot with them. No more penetration is needed than that. The 2 I shot with 158gr JHPs, had no exit wounds, but still went less than 40 yards. The trick is to keep range to a minimum and accuracy. I always considered the range of my .357s for deer to be similar to bow-hunting. Ranges longer than that, I use something bigger.
