I recently picked up a Security Six and was thinking about taking it hunting. I've shot Whitetail with my 44 Redhawk, but never with a 357 (dismissing the after rifle shots with my sp101 to the head). With my sp101, I just used 158 gr. to the head when they were still alive, but that is not the same as shooting them down. I was thinking about 180 gr XTP's, and the only reason is the 300 gr XTP's worked so well in my 44.
Opinions seem to vary when it comes to the 357 and Whitetail. Is it PC in the hunting world to use a 357 on Whitetail, and does a 180 gr sound good? I would appreciate any suggestions and will consider them when making my decision.
p.s. practice is a must.
