Well, I've shot two...

Here's the skinny, straight out of Lyman 47th Handbook.

The only two I've had experience with are the following:

Hornady 125gr jacketed hollowpoint: I used 16.0 grains (start: 15.6, max: 19.5)1.590"OAL

Hornady 158grjacketed hollowpoint: I used 13.5grains (start: 12.2, max:
16.1)1.590"0AL

NOTE WELL: THESE ARE "RIFLE" LOADS AND WERE SHOT OUT OF A MARLIN LEVER GUN.

I've shot some lead slugs to, but these were the two best that showed the best accuracy, out of that rifle.

There's a bunch of loads in the Lyman 47th for .357 using IMR 4227. I use to shoot IMR 4227, but not that much anymore.
