Hello. I think I'd try Hornady 158-gr. XTP's. The load is usually quite accurate and the XTP penetrates well after going to about 1.5 x original diameter.

.357 Magnum hunting load 4" barrel?
My father-in-law likes to deer hunt from a tree stand. At his age he also has mild tremors (shakes). He is planning on taking a Colt Python .357 with 4" barrel (legal) as a backup to his 7mm Mag rifle. He would only take relatively close shots with the Colt. Any suggestions on a good factory loading for deer?

I hunt with the 357 for deer when I can,it will work fine as long as you punch the side, but I prefer the heavier loads like the 180 grain or the Buffaloe Bore loads,
I found out today that he already had a box of Federal 158gr. Hydra-Shock. That's what he's gonna use. I doubt he'll have any problems with that load.
