[QUOTE="RT2506, post: 2023006, member: 10178"] 16.3 grs H110 fired by a CCI 550 mag primer under any jacketed 158 gr bullet usually shoots great in 357 mags. This is the suggested load out of the Sierra manual. Best 158 gr bullets I have used for deer is the Hornady XTP and the Speer Gold Dot which the 158s are now called Deep Curl. I would give the advice that Bob Milek gave about pistols for black bear and larger. The caliber should start with a 4 or larger. In my experience with the 357 mag revolver on deer keep you shots inside 75 yards and put it exactly were it needs to go and it will do the job. You can extend the yardage quite a bit with the T/C Contender solid breach break open pistols. I really like the 180 gr Hornady XTP fired by 13.5 H110 in my 10" barrel Contender. For protection usage on humans the 125 gr JHP has a very high percent of one shot stops. These days you get what you can find not what you want. [/QUOTE]
