IT AINT what ya shoot--its how ya shoot it. NONE of us are as smart as ALL of us!
Great shooting! My signature line will fill in the rest of my thoughts on the 357
The .357 Magnum......
1935
Major Douglas Wesson, using factory loads, which were a 158 gr. soft lead bullet, traveling 1515 fps, from an 8 3/4" barreled S&W, producing 812 ft. lbs of muzzle energy.
Antelope - 200 yards (2 shots)
Elk - 130 yards (1 shot)
Moose - 100 yards (1 shot)
Grizzly Bear - 135 yards (1 shot).
It kind of makes one wonder, why today, it will bounce off anything bigger than a rabbit
What was use for boolit on the deer?

I got this little guy a few years ago with a
.41 mag jacketed bullet.
It's going to be cast boolits next time! I just have to round up another Blackhawk- I've traded them away sadly.
Envy the HUGE rack on this guy....

I love to hear the citidiot stories of 250lb. armor plated deer. In a capable persons hands it is more than enough gun for the average southern deer.
I hate to wander off topic but this year the Canadian Province of Saskatchewan has banned the following for use on any big game including deer and bear, 32-20,357 mag.,41 mag.,44-40, 45 Colt's. These would be rifle cals. as handguns cannot be used to hunt in Canada. So be thankful that you live in a somewhat "free country".
nice shooting,ive hunted with a pistol a little over the years but am planning on doing it a lot more now that we hunt our own property mostly
