I have found, and this has been supported by others, that the 158 gr. Speer GD and the 158 gr. Hornday XTP-FP (not HP), the Hornady 180 gr. XTP and Remington 180 gr SJHP seem to be the best jacketed bullets for the .357 Magnum rifle. In my gun 125s went about 2200 fps. That's a bit fast for the bullets' design parameters but would be great for woodchucks. The cast bullets 150 gr. and up do a good job all around depending on design and alloy. Bryan over on Leverguns posted a photo of a deer killed with his rifle and 180 gr. cast and that bullet did a lot of damage.
