Fast effective repeat shots with a 200 grain bullet, loaded to effective velocity, will not be a easily controlled round without more practice than most will do. I used to shoot a 180 grain jacketed sp, and a similar weighted cast, and both were pushing the limits of my model 28s cylinder length...I stopped using them because after seating to the limit (both used needed crimping cannelures) I would still occ. bind on cylinder rotation. A lot of the maximum wt .357 projectiles are intended for single shot pistols/carbines.
