I prefer to use 2400 for cast bullet loads ...
since 2400 seems to help with leading, for me.
But, I have the latest Lyman cast bullet handbook and they show 357 rifle loads. The heaviest cast bullet loads are for a 180 grain cast gas check bullet and indicate that Blue Dot is the most accurate powder. But the max velocity with Blue Dot is over 100 fps slower than the top H110 load.
The highest velocity loads are with H110 (14.0 grains for 1628 fps), and are about 50 fps faster than the top load of 2400 (12.3 grains for 1575 fps).
I don't see anything there that would cause me to change anything about my 2400 loads.
