cougar and the .357 mag.

In montana cougar hunting is great. I always use my revolver its a S&W model 66 with a cheap scope on b-square custom mounts. I have always shot 125gr sjhp bullets ahead of 12grs of alliant blue dot. I have never had to track a cat or had to make a second shot on the four i have shot. All beutiful animals. My biggest cat was about 180lbs

For this type of game, my 357 Mag uses 180-gr. Winchester Supreme Partition Gold or Federal 180-gr. Hard Cast or Hornady 180-gr. XTP's as outstanding hunting rounds.

Like Hornady 125-gr. XTP's or Winchester 145-gr. Silvertips for self defense.

Hunting Tip: Canning Your Venison

The first deer I shot, way back in 1958, was taken to the local meat shop and processed into steaks, roasts and some burger. Back then in that little Idaho town, when you took a deer into the butcher, you got the same deer back. Unfortunately, times have changed.

I ended up throwing the burger as it stunk the house up every time we...
