Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Handguns 357 mag 158 XTP FP

I used a 158 RP JSP at 2050 mv from a Marlin using Lil Gun powder, flattened a doe DRT, at 75 yds.

That JSP, or the XTP FP are solid choices. The 180 is a nice one - perhaps the ideal weight in a rifle or contender handgun to get speeds up.

Layne Simpson liked the 180s in longer 686s on deer. It may have been the Federal factory load........
