What's your favorite .357 mag load?
I was tinkering with some 125 grain jhp bullets that I got from Da. They are Montana Gold jhp. Haven't quite found the load I am looking for to shoot out of my Ruger GP100 4". What are some of your all's favorite loads? I was using Power Pistol today. Looking for a mid to heavy deer round.

while I haven't reloaded any 357 myself my Dad has this load marked down in his reloading manual.
180 grain nosler bullet over 15 grains lilgun = 1422fps

, for your Gp100 I'd recommend 13.5 grains of 2400 with a 158 grain hardcast SWC and a Standard small-pistol primer. I get 1349fps average velocity out of these in my six-inch Model 28. Generates 638FPE.
