One of the nice things about the .357 Magnum is that there are very few "bad" JHP loadings. Good choices include (but are not limited to):
Federal 125gr SJHP
Remington 125gr SJHP
Remington 125gr Golden Saber
Winchester 125gr SJHP
Winchester 125gr PDX1
Cor-Bon 125gr JHP
Cor-Bon 125gr DPX
Speer 125gr Gold Dot
Hornady 125gr Critical Defense
Federal 130gr Hydra-Shok
Cor-Bon 140gr JHP
Winchester 145gr Silvertip
Federal 158gr SJHP
Remington 158gr SJHP
Winchester 158gr SJHP
Really, so long as you stay in the 125-158gr range, you've likely got a pretty effective load. The only three common loadings in that weight range that I'd caution against are Federal 158gr Hydra Shok, Speer 158gr Gold Dot, and CCI Blazer 158gr JHP as all three show lackluster expansion in the tests I've seen.
