I used a Dan Wesson 8" barrel .357 Mag with hot 158 gr. Hornady's handloads and a 2.5x pistol scope. Worked great on Missouri whitetails with clean kills out to 40 yards. Now using a Ruger Blackhawk in .44 Mag with 2.5x scope and warm 180gr. Hornady handloads. Worked well this year at 45 yards. Key is bullet placement. The .357 tore up a lot less meat.
