Re: Just one powder
Unique is probably my favorite (do it all) powder and a little goes a long way BUT H110 is my "go to" for magnum cartridges. Its simply just better

I really like these!!!
I purchased a few of these during Underwoods last sale. These are incredible. I clocked them at 1215 from a 5" Smith. The recoil was between a mild 357 and a hot 38 +p....maybe call them a +p+. They are incredibly accurate, I got a 1.15" average at 25 yards off hand. Thats about as good as...

All with 357 Magnum?
Ok, so my google-fu is failing me today. As a serious lover of the 357 magnum I am curious to know. What animals have been successfully taken with 357 magnum.
I know that I have used it for turkey, deer, coyote, feral dogs and black bear but what else?
