The high speed, light weight handgun bullet is a disaster most times. Once in a while you can get spectacular results but most times they will break your heart. What you are looking for in a handgun bullet for hunting is a nice hole, in the right place, with an exit. That makes it pretty simple. A 357 will work but you are walking a fine line so use good bullets, something at least 158 grs or heavier & keep your shots close. A better bet is go up to the 41 or 44 but you didn't ask that. Placement & penetration are your friends when hunting!
