Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Handguns 357 Mag on Whitetails

I have shot 3 deer with the .357 Magnum; 1 with a 4" S&W 19 and 1 with a 5" S&W 27, and 1 with a 4" S&W 66. All were shot with some ancient Super-Vel 158 grain JHPs. All were shot at short range, less than 50'. All were shot through the lungs. All died promptly, none going more than 50' from the point of bullet impact. All were whitetails weighing under 150 lbs.
