With swift A-Frames, I would use a 357 mag any day of the week for deer n bear combo within 125 yds.
Fk hardcast in the 357 mag, doesn't have enough diameter for quick kills.
This is what a 180 A-frame looks like after a finishing shot square through the entire neck of a large bull moose, found against off side of hide. For those of you in the know, that is one of the toughest pieces of meat around Alaska.
