Jacketed bullet choice for W296 in .357mag?
My reading has turned up some info that too light a bullet may invite problems in .357 mag revolvers when using this powder. Typically, I use a 125 gr. jacketed bullet if I'm not shooting lead. What bullet do those of you do shoot this powder in this caliber like/recommend? Many thanks.

Flame cutting can occur with 125 grain bullets. I prefer to use 158, or 170 grain bullets.
