I remember reading you need about 950ft/lbs(this may be way off I'm going on memory) of energy to kill a deer. Chuck Hawkins maybe. I can't find it now, work puters got everything blocked. Just need to do some research and make sure the round you use will deliver that at the distance you want to shoot.

900-1000 is what most people go by.

I knew a few people who hunted deer with a.357 mag when I lived in La. I've just never found handgun hunting to be that practical.
