[QUOTE="Moparman485, post: 3856029, member: 38840"] Those above PPU are great for small to medium 4 legged and 2 legged critters. If you get a wild hair and decide to hunt with it as a primary, I would recommend heavier or thicker bullet designs of course, possibly with a JHP design (soft points tend to over penetrate compared to JHP/BalTip in my opinion, and tend to expand less). I’ve used 158/180 bullets with great success on paper and hunting. One thing to note if you do reload, don’t hot rod it like you can a Ruger, but with 357 mag, there’s really no need to push the limits anyways. I have found the 125gr )factory and handloads) to have a more harsh recoil (on the wrist) than the 158/180s, so I’ve steered away from them myself. I have also heard the forcing cone issues but have never seen it in person. Just stick to brass cases and avoid steel/aluminum if you can. [/QUOTE]
