I had a number of questions on the 357 magnum and came across this site. I thought other would fined it informative.

A lot of info there. My experience is shooting white tails within 100 yes. Any good 158 grain hollow or soft point will get it done. Other than that, ymmv.

Remember, it's not how many guns you have. It's how many bullets you have.

nice find indeed .... both of our sons have taken whitetail deer with their 327 revolvers firing our home loaded Nosler 158 gr JHP bullets ..... none of us has had the opportunity to do so with our Henry rifle but there is absolutely no doubt it is very capable of doing so
