I have been having good success with the Rainier 147gr FMJ and JHP with 3.6gr of 231 out of my suppressed 10.5" Colt. I bought some 158gr TTI Armory subsonic loads, and like the increased thump on the receiving end.

Does anyone have any experience with swaging jacketed bullets down a little bit? There are a lot of heavy .357" bullets out there, but nothing over 147gr in .355. I think I want to try swaging, but know nothing about it other than 'it's possible.' Any tips?
