357 magnum

What would you consider to the best whitetail deer cartridge for shooting less than 100 yards? Let's say 50 - 75 yards. Southeast Texas, whitetail deer. Handgun cartridges are acceptable. I was thinking either a 357 or 44 magnum lever action. Then again, why not just go with the 30-30...

Salutations. I have some 38 Special and 357 Magnum brass that I'd like to reload. However I am quite new to reloading, (I've never done it) Their is this reloading press that I am looking at buying. However I have some questions before I start. 1) Will that press work for 38SP/357 Magnum...

Does anyone here have a lever action 357 magnum rifle? If so, what brandname, model and what do you think about it? I am looking for a short range rifle I can use for deer say within 50 - 74 yards.

Over the past few weeks I have been thinking about getting an AR-15 chambered in 9mm. The main purpose of the rifle would be for predators around the farm - coyotes, opossums, foxes, raccoons,,,. Why would I want a 9mm for small animals? Mainly for noise. When I start shooting the AR in 223...

Now I know there's plenty of other threads about this, but I like the idea of having one of my own. That being said... This summer when my next birthday comes around I plan on buying a new rifle. I recently saw the Ruger Gunsite Scout Rifle in 308. Right off the bat, this rifle looks COOL. I...

Is the 10mm just as powerful as the .357mag, How do the two compare?

I reload my own, but it's a slow process. Looking to get my hands on MANY more rounds. I don't mind box loads, plinkers, etc. Just whatever is cheap. Hollow points are not necessary, just a nice to have. I use these in a rifle/pistol combo so any grain count will do. Where do you get yours for...

So, I am in the market for a pistol and read alot of good things about the 357. (I also shot one) I plan on using it for general carry, home defense, woods carry, and maybe a little game hunting. I am on a budget of about $500, so I am wondering what is the best 357. Revolver value for the...

So I am grappling with two choices and would appreciate some input about the pro's and con's about each. In the Blue corner we have the Mossberg 590A1 w/ Bayonet. The obvious advantages are; superior ballistics at close range, a wide selection of ammo varieties (buckshot, slugs, birdshot...

got my first revolver...i was torn between a 1911 and a revolver i got a pre lock 640-1 chambered for 357/38:thumb: i picked up some WWB 38 special i hope to go shoot it tuesday some time:D:

From my opinion, pistols need to serve a dual role purpose - just like rifles or shotguns. Whether its on your hip while walking around the yard, or in your hand while hog or deer hunting, be sure to pick a caliber that will get the job done. 5. 22 long rifle - inexpensive, light weight...

Looking to pick up another DA wheel gun in .357 Came across this Security Six locally. God knows why they put a red dot on it, but whatever. Anyway, the only ruger I've owned is a blackhawk and 20 years later it's rock solid. How do you all feel about the security six? What would you say this...

Hi, I am new here and don't really know much about 30.30 as opposed to a 357mag lever action rifle. I know a little about the 30.30 and that it's a old round that has taken many deer over the years. But I was considering a .357 mag only because I have 357 pistols and have the reloading...

I'm heading to a gun show this weekend. One of the items on my wish list is a .357 mag. I would appreciate any suggestions and personal likes and dislikes to help me decide what to get. I'd like to keep it under $400.00.

I received this question off youtube, does anyone have any input or suggestions?? In my opinion, the 357 through a rifle should be good for 100 yard shots on deer and hogs. The muzzle velocity between a 18.5 inch barrel and a 6 inch barrel: 110 grain bullet: 18.5 inch barrel - 2415 FPS 6...
