I am going to the range to get some more 50-75yd practice with my S&W 686 4" .357 Magnum. I have decided to try handgun deer hunting and this will be new to me. I have been shooting handguns for a while and am familiar with shooting long distances. I am going to go to the range for the next few weekends to get even more long distance shots off to keep my practice up. I will be shooting out of the box Remington 158gr JSP. From articles I've read and posts I've read here, these will give the compromise between expansion and penetration needed when hunting deer with a relatively low velocity (compared to a rifle) gun. The woods here are fairly thick so I probably won't see a shot past 50-60 yards. It's going to be fun.
Here's the gun I am going to be using: www.lxcoupe.com/images/357.jpg
If anyone has any tips or experiences with handgun deer hunting, I'd love to hear them.
