Im saving for a custom MGM barrel main target will be deer. I live in Ohio so straight wall 357 or larger is the rule. Im leaving very heavily towards the 357 max especially after talking with Mike Bellm a little. He said he knows a guy using a 14 incher loaded with 200 FTX for elk so it should be plenty powerful. I doubt ill ever hunt outside the US so I imagine it would be enough gun for anything I wanted to hunt if loaded right. Just wondering if anyone else has any other/better suggestions. I have a 45/70 super 16 but bullets are a little pricey and its over kill even loaded down for squirrels and such and the trajectory isn't all the great. Welcome any suggestions.
