I have with 160 grain SWC plain base. Thru a 6"barrel. 1 head, 2 heart lung. Both under 40 yds.
Close enough for either a head shot or to for sure, heart shot.
The heart lung shot I have done twice. Will not "drop" a deer in spot. But will provide a good humane kill. As long as you leave it alone for a bit, then track it. Get the adrenaline going and it becomes way less humane. Plus it taints the meat.
As I found out on my second 357 heart lung kill. Better to let them go lay down, bleed out. Then go track them.
