RE: Everybodies ideal bullet for 357mag
for my hunting rounds i use the 158 grain xtp/hp bullets, but for my plinkers i use a cheaper bullet, Montana gold bullets in 158 grain JHP. I also use the 125 grainers sometimes when im out of the 158 grainers I shoot alot of 38 special and use the 125 grainers exclusively in my 38 loads so i usually have alot more of them on hand. the montana gold bullets have good terminal perfomance just not as good as a XTP, but if I was in pinch I wouldn't hesitate to use a 158 grain montana gold bullet on a deer.
