I have seen a few deer shot here with the standard 140 rem JSP. Soft points that they deleted about 5 years ago. I would offer that the 158 gr JSP from any of the big makers would be good. I have seen too many of the JHP's fail on deer sized game when they hit shoulder or hips. Last time someone used a .357 with us, they shot a deer quartering away from them, the bullet was a 140 grainer JSP that entered the paunch on the near side, nicked the heart, jellied the lung and broke the far shoulder at about 45 yards range.
