I have only shot one deer with my .357. I didn't have magnum powder and the load I used was probably too slow. The bulley hit a rib on one side and angled back through the paunch and ut just ahead of the read hind quarter. Whatever you use make sure it's a fast load. If you can put one through the front shoulder going in at a proper angle, I have found that to be a good shot placement with my .44 mag.
