    10 great blue dot is my go to load for the .357. Not the most potent, but plenty of juice.

    Gee, I thought you needed some kind of belted magnum and premium bullets that cost $5 apiece to kill a deer these days (I hope the sarcasm is evident).

    Congrats, nice deer, nice rifle.

    Am I the only one not seeing something that I'm supposed to be seeing?
    My Blackhawk gets a 158 grain cast bullet going a little more than 1000 ft/sec with 10.0 grains of BlueDot.

    If you are looking for entry/exit it was a tail shot.

    Yes thats an old Bushnell 2.5X

    10 gr Bluedot isnt my hottest load that works well in that gun. Best is 15.3gr H110 with that bullet, but with a GC.

    I just didnt have time, and these were in my shelf.

    Tail shot as in the old Texas heart shot; well it works seen it often enough. That one looks
    Like good eating and a sharp little carbine as well

    Greetings and Congratulations ! Nice looking fodder for the table !
    "Through the grill doors" has always been a favored shot in a tank company ! Lots of penetration through thin armor right to the heart of matters.

    Ah yes, the old Texas Heart Shot. I've used it myself and it also worked for me. Congratulations and looks like the ammo you used did a right good job. I totally understand about not having time to load for a particular firearm and just use what you have. I did it this year also.
