Default Update on the 357 magnum for deer.

thought i would update the other thread as it is now locked, and i wanted to put an ending to what i have decided to do. i went to my local shop and since i only had enough money for a h&r handi rifle in 357 so it would match my ruger sp101. however my local shop guy pointed me in another direction, i had $275 for the rifle and i was planning to get ammo as i could. well he suggested a h&r tracker II slug gun at $150 and use the rest of the money on slugs. so i took his advice and i'll be getting a tracker II 12 gauge slug gun and ammo. thanks for everyones advice, but the guy at the shop brought up a good question. what if i shoot a deer with a 357 and it runs over on posted land which i have alot of around where i live. he said a 12 gauge slug placed right will put the deer down where i shoot him, thanks again.
