Shot conicals with the Pietta. 3 shots three deer. About 50 yards tops with the 357 both times and 20 with the Pietta. Get close shoot careful. A lot like bowhunting. Those who would give up essential liberty, to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety. Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790)

Only thing I have acquit now. In the past 357 mag Smith, 44mag rugar red hawks, and 308 Thompson center encore. Handgun hunting is OK but I no longer do much of it preferring a long gun. At one time it was all I did during firearms season. Last edited by Providence Farm; 08/07/23 09:05 PM.
