I think the .358 Winchester all around is very hard to beat, however after I acquired a Marlin 336 ER in .356 Winchester I let my .358 Win go to a buddy that has always wanted one.
There is just...

You have a greater chance of being hospitalized or dying from a tick bite than a black bear attack.

I have a version of that mold in a custom mold. It weighs around 290 with 50/50. It is by far the most accurate bullet in my 44mag.

I have killed a several deer with my 44 Mag Redhawk from 12 Yards up to 60ish yards with cast bullets weighing 265 to 290gr and they all passed thru.

Most Straight across hits from ground level require the body cavity to fill to the wound before it bleeds. When I hunt from the ground with cast bullets I try to break them down with a shoulder shot....

Thanks,
No I have killed several with a handgun. It is a little like bowhunting, but louder.

I have been wondering how you can even kill deer in Texas with the guns you have in your possession. Here in your neighboring state deer are impervious to anything but a 6.5 launched from a 26”...

I think bullets in the .429 and up diameters kill in a different way than most hunters are accustom to.
With all respect, I am not sure where the 1000 foot pound threshold standard started but that...
Keep in mind the weight of a rifle also has a huge effect on recoil. My wife is also small, her rifle started as a compact rifle with plastic stock, no recoil pad. Since she always hunts from stands...
My wife has killed a truck load of deer with a .308 and 125gr Nosler ballistic tip bullets. I load them with 37gr of H4895. Recoil is next to nothing and velocity is 2,550.

I have formed a lot of .358 win from .308 with my RCBS die. One pass. The expander ball has a nice taper.

I have killed deer using 358win and 356win With RCBS 35-200-FN and COWW, COWW+ 2%, and 50/50+2%. The 50/50+2% performed the best.
The other two killed just as dead, but the bullets did not hold...

How will the Alabama Game and Fish know the cast bullets ability to expand?
This type of regulation is meant stop the use of FMJ bullets on game.
I would load up the cast bullets and go hunt.
