I've never done any handgun hunting so I'm trying to gain an understanding of ammo used in a 357 Magnum Blackhawk or GP100 with a 6 inch barrel.
What is a good bullet type and weight for Texas size critters like deer, hogs and coyotes?
What are the uses of really heavy bullets in 357? I see 180 and 200gr ammo sold but is that useful in a hand gun, or more for rifles?
Again, I'm a newbie so just gathering information so I have a good starting point with ammo for the guns I have. I understand the limitations in general of the 357 revolver with regards to distance and shot placement. (50 or so yards max and I'm not hunting grizzly)
