I used to cast the Lyman #429421 .44 245 gr bullet & used either 2400 for heavy loads or Unique for lights. Unique runs 9.8 - 13.0
2400 runs 19.4 - 23.4

My fave any bulet for .357 is Lyman's #358429 168 gr bullet & I use Bluedot @ 9.5grs min-max = 8.3 - 10.0

Lyman's Orange Magic lube & #2 alloy - zip for leading/gunk.

If you're gonna reload lead bullets, I'd highly recommend Lyman's cast bullet handbook & their other one Pistols/Revolvers. Even if you don't cast, they're good ref material.

BTW, don't believe me about the min/max bit. Always check it yourself.
