As for 296, it's a fine powder.
I've loaded a lot of it in .357 over the years. Never had a squib, and never needed to use compressed loads.

Same here , 296 along with H110 have been my most used magnum handgun powder. Accuracy has been very good to excelllent with everything from 125 grain 357 loads all the way up to 300 grain 44 mags. Never had any kind of misfire or squib using any magnum powder , or any powder for that matter.
Just get a good reloading manual , preferably with the exact bullet you using in the data , for example - if you were shooting a lot of Hornady 158XTPs get the Hornady data for 357 magnum using 158 XTPs.
Some of the powder companies have data available as well.
