the .357 lever is a fantastic deer killer. I've loaded ~180gr hardcast, and found them entirely effective on our puny TX whitetails.

easy to shoot, and a ton of fun to practice with 38 spls. my favorite rifle is a stainless octagon barrelled Puma.

my son has used it on several deer.

First teach a child to love God, second teach him to love family, third teach him to fish and hunt and by the time he is in his teens no dope dealer under the sun can teach him anything. Cotton Cordell
