Hello,
If anyone here has used the .357 magnum cartridge to hunt animals of deer size and up I would like to hear about your experiences. I would prefer to read accounts where the cartridge was fired out of a revolver but carbine stories will be useful to me as well. I’d like to have the following information:
• Type of animal shot, and shot placement
• Time elapsed before animal drops
• Make, model, bullet weight, and velocity of that particular load
• Firearm barrel length
• Size and appearance of entry wound
• Size and appearance of exit wound
• Size and appearance of internal wound channel – was it significantly larger than caliber?
I myself am not a hunter so I put these questions to those THR members who do hunt. Any information is appreciated.
Thanks,
