Ill be the first to admit it, I like the cannons because there cannons ohohoho(I cant put what Tim Allen does in words). I like the power and fill of the big guns. I fill a 357 is a good gun just like people have said here. Just like a 30-30, 243, and the other smaller guns, I have never lost a deer with any. Agian I like my 30-06 because it has More Power and I didnt even have to rewire it. Call it what it is, Testostirone. My father inlaw uses a 30-30 and has not ever lost a deer. Its all in what you like or fill comfortable with. Shoot placement is always the key.
