Found some Hornady 180 gr HP. In 357 I loaded blue dot, 2400 , and H110. The best one was Blue dot at 9.5 grs. , about 1300 FPS???. At 50 yds, .775, 3 shot group. A little more work and I may get the group size down some?? All so I did a trigger job on the gun and it now has a 2lb. trigger.
 
.775 now that is good shooting at 50 yards with a 357magnum rifle. I also like those XTP's and I have found the 158gr bullets shoot better for me but of course the 180's are harder hitting. :D
 
Went today and ran FPS on the 3 best bullet that grouped the best. 148 gr. HBWC = 1033 FPS ( 4.5 gr of Unique), Berry 125 gr. = 1209 FPS (7.5 gr SR4756, and the Horndy 180 gr. HP= 1279" FPS (9.5 gr Blue Dot).
