the 357 magnum is capable. I have killed a few deer at close range with the 357 magnum revolver.
I have actually killed lots of deer with the 357 magnum, but in a carbine.
That said if I had a choice early on I would of gone with a 41 or 44 magnum. While I feel the 357 mag is capable I still fill there are better options.

Shot placement is everything! I would rather take a round of 50BMG to the foot than a 22short to the base of the skull.
all 26 of my guns are 45/70 govt, 357 mag, 22 or 12 ga... I believe in keeping it simple. Wish my wife did as well...
