Default Re: Anyone got any recipes on deer loads for Marlin 1894 357 cowboy lever action?

May not be what you want to hear but I think you are pushing it for deer @75-100 yds with a 357 mag rifle. At 100 yds a 158g 357 (out of a rifle) is down to around 1450 fps and 725 ft-lb of energy...not to impressive for quick-humane kills on deer.
