RE: Everybodies ideal bullet for 357mag
for plinkin and hunting of large game i stick with the good ole self made hard cast Keith SWC... 152 grains as it comes out of the mold for me... bout 16 BHN... they are accurate and do a number on deer... you can load em down and they are accurate for punchin paper too...
for self defense, i DO NOT reload... i just buy speer gold dot and federal hydrashock ammo. that is one bridge i don't want to have to cross and defend should i (god forbid) ever find myself in a court of law...
