If you want to reload, the 180 grain Speer Flat Point (the same bullet used in the .35 Remington) is great for deer.
I know a gentleman who has killed 3 GA whitetails, including a nice 8pt. this year with a Max and these bullets.
BTW, the .357 Max is great for deer.

I like the Hornady 180 gr xtp bullet and aa1680 powder.I have gotten up to 1800 pfs with these bullets and up to 2000pfs with the 14" barrel.The factory ammo that is from Remington is pretty old mid 1980s .I load my own and have loaded over 20,000 rounds for the 357 maxium.

The case on the .357 Max is 3/10" longer than the .357 Mag.
All true, Mike!
But having the larger case capacity/thicker built case gives the .357 MAX handloader the room necessary to achieve bigger and better things through the use of chemistry!
Its pressure level is more in line with rifle rounds, and makes it a fantastic carbine cartridge!

And those velocities are probably measured out of an 8" revolver or sum such.
Imagine what it does out of a 14" Contender barrel.
