Thanks for all the info, I have a much clearer view of were the 357 fits into deer hunting. Two questions, I haven't been reloading 357 ammo for very long. I have been mostly using the middle of the road powders, not the slow burners like H110, 2400, and W296. Do I need a heavy crimp with these slow burners and 170-180gr. bullets? Second, from everything I have heard at gunshops etc, I have been lead to believe that twenty five yards is max range. What would you all see as the maximum range of this caliber, assuming the shooter is accurate at which ever range?max
