« on: October 15, 2007, 04:46:57 PM »
I was wondering what everyone's favorite factory .357 Magnum loads were for their handis?

My son killed a nice doe last year with 140 grain Winchester Silvertips.  They shot good in the 2 357 barrels I have owned.

I ordered some Buffalo Bore 158 grain and also want to try the ammo you guys listed. The jacketed Remington and Magtech cheapo stuff has crappy accuracy. I have some old Western 148 grain .38 wadcutters that are pretty accurate so I know the rifle can do it, it's just a matter of finding the right hunting round.

I've been using Georgia Arms Deer Stopper 158gr hp

Haven't actually shot a deer yet, but at 75 yards it is really accurate and will poke 3" holes in a pumpkin.

I tried some 180 grain Federal Vital Shok and was happy with the accuracy. I still haven't received the Buffalo Bore ammo that I ordered, I don't think I'll be buying from them ever again.
