I know many use a 357 Mag for deer. My feelings are it's on the light side for Whitetails.Unless you are an extremely experienced handgunner and can make perfect shot placement.My choice would be in the 44 mag, 454 Casull or the 480 Ruger class.The minimum I would recommend would be the 41 mag for Whitetail sized game.I'm sure others will disagree ..........That's just my opinion.
