Mike. I find that interesting about the 1935 jacketed bullets. Everything I read about the early .357 ammo was that the bullets were lead, and that they were too soft and leaded badly. (I was born a few years after that.) No one evr mentioned that jacketed bullets were manufactured as well.
I hear that about how hot that early ammo was. For years I loaded my .357 Mag. ammo to duplicate the original specs. Still do, but only in my S&W (pre-sellout) Model 27 and 28. Not in my Model 66 though.
If you are interested, the is an article at (www.sixgunner.com/guests/paco.htm) on hot loads in the .357 for strong guns.
BTW. Who made that early jacketed ammo?
