Sorry--misinterpreted your print. Think it's more than "it likes the bullet." Of the available spire points, it has the shortest jump to lands while still being seated as long as the magazine allows, which in turn allows more powder capacity.

I'm not sure if you answered the question--but did you do identical loads with the 180 hot core--the only variable being sized to .357 and .356--and then measure all the performance parameters and see if there was a drop of any kind between a .357 and .356 bullet?
