I use 3.0 gr Bullseye or 4.0 231 under 158 SWC cast or 155 jacketed RN. Same same. Works goooood. Prolly got a few ten thou through a S&W 686 of that feed. I am out of Bullseye, and plan to standardize with a bulk purchase this late fall. Going with 231. Only because I have better results with 231 in .45 ACP and 9 Mak. So, .38 spl will have to go with the majority.
I have only loaded a few 125 JHP's for .357. Seems like I used some oddass powder like 4756 or 4227 for those. But, I digress.
