I use a 454 from a 5 in barrel SRH when I have pistol hunted. I will tell you this chest to butt through a decent sized muley with every factory load ive ever used.
what you use is up to you. accuracy and a fast followup shot is critical no matter what your shooting or hunting. If you need 3 minutes to reorrientate yourself and get your super magnum ready for a follow up shot, its useless when compared with that trusty .357 that you can punch out a full cylinder of say 180 grain swcs at 1200fps and keep on target in an entire minute.
I've drifted more towards the 44's. Not that I doubt the 357's capabilities, I just don't see much downside to using the bigger caliber.
If the OP ever reads this I hope he's wearing his waders.
Why? You don't think a .30-30 hand gun will kill a deer?
I wasn't talking about you, MC
I haven't used a revolver for hunting in nearly 20 years.
