Got up in the stand this morning at 6:45. Had a big bodied spike buck with 2" antlers at about 65yds come in at 8am. I pulled the encore PH 357 max up to my shoulder cocked the hammer and let a Remington 180 gr JHP bullet over 22gr H-110 smash through the heart and lungs of the buck. He was large around 180 on the hoof. He ran about 60 yds and crashed. About half hour later had 6 more deer come up on me at 40yds in through some thick honeysuckle. I picked the one that offered me the best shot that was broadside, put my crosshairs on its shoulder and squeezed the trigger. This deer was DRT. Was using a speer 180gr hotcor with 22gr H-110 with Remington 7 1/2 BR primers. Smashed through both shoulders totally broke the shoulder facing me . The 357 max is a mean round and puts the HAMMER on deer. If anyone is thinking about getting one, I definitely recommend the max. Great round and recoil with a max load is like shooting a 410 shotgun.
