I have a six-inch barrelled 686 S&W 357 that I plan on carrying for hog medicine. What type sighting would you recommend for hunting in low light situations? Scope, reddot, or holographic. | ||

Get yourself an Ultradot 30 for about $160.00 shipped, and don't look back. www.ultradotwest.com Oh, and welcome to the forum! "Ignorance you can correct, you can't fix stupid."

The Streamlight Stinger LED works really well. Easier to use than a spotlight. Seriously, I have a T/C scope with a lighted reticle. It is fairly easy to use on moonlit nights.

Thanks for the info guys. I checked out the ultradot site and they look great. Will keep them in mind. While we are discussing hog hunting, have any of you had experience with 180 grain XTP's in the 357 on hogs or other big game? We are about to start reloading and thought about trying a batch. | |||

Welcome to the board. I would look at the flat point Hornady bullet or a hard cast bullet for hogs using a .357. You will get better penetration with these bullets over the hollow points.

I too would recommend a heavy (180 grain) flat-nosed hardcast. "Ignorance you can correct, you can't fix stupid." JWP If stupidity hurt, a lot of people would be walking around screaming. Semper Fidelis "Building Carpal Tunnel one round at a time" | |||
