Hey guys I bought my son a .357 handi rifle for Christmas. He is wanting to start hunting but I'm not sure on what ammo would be best for tis application. Any help or advise would be great thanks

Yes, go with flat or round point rather than hollow point. I've had hollow points fragment badly when shot from a rifle.

My grandson uses the .357 handi with 158 grain Remington SOFT points, 18.5 grains of LilGun Remington primer. He has killed two deer with this set up. The farthest at 68 yards. This bullet and load is a favorite of Jerry Lester who has taken over 50 whitetails with it. Also this rifle can easily be rechambered for the .357 Maximum which will take deer to 200 yards while still having the capability to shoot .38 special and .357 mag with little or no apparent loss of accuracy. A very versatile rifle and round capable to take small game to deer with the proper loads.
