How are you guys adjusting your size of projectile to size of animal. 2022 seems to be the year of the 357 magnum going back to being a useful hunting hand gun caliber for deer, and using 158 grain bullets to boot.
SO as i have had bad deer forage last two years, and last years babies have not really grown much at all. Honestly look as if they are 100# baby goats. Shooting them feels wrong somehow, but this year i am going to try to get one with my 357. Two are boys that i can see, and a few unknowns.
If I look at matts bullets, the options for "heavy" slugs is easy, that 157-170 grain range is rife with them.
THis is based on "bigger deer = thicker/stronger bone to shoot through"
