Small game 357 mag loads

Dem must be some big bunny rabbits. That won't leave anything for the table.

its not THAT unreasonable
I cooked up 30-06 loads for these sorts of things cause I like that rifle so much more than my 22. It can be done. Ill argue that it should be done. Lets face it .. the crimson mist involved in development is just plain fun

There are a few states (California) that require an expanding bullet, that does allow for cast bullets by definition. What they don't allow is FMJ ammo. I think California is a lead free state also, not sure.
If you are just busting jackrabbits a good hollow point, either jacketed or cast will work extremely well, if you are hunting cottontails, then something less destructive is best.
I've shot many with a cast HP #358156 & there's usually nothing left but the ears, its like shooting a pillow! Another very explosive bullet is the Speer 125 gr Gold Dot.....nasty!
