357 Maximum

[Catfish]

I load and shoot several mag. handgun round and load nothing but Win. 296 in my mag. loads. I took a deer with mine this year and it did a good job. For this round and deer hunting I would recomand the 158 grn. Hornady XTP`s. I shot a deer with a 170 grn. Serria`s a few years back and hit the shoulder joint and got bullet failer, the bullet was just to soft for the velosities that you get with the .357 max.
I checked my book and you can get another 100 fps. with the 296 over the 4227. I like it because you get more velosity with less chamber presure than any other powder and I have gotten good accuracy with every gun I`ve shot it in, give the 296 a try, i think you`ll like it.
