I've never owned a 357...

but did load up a bunch to shoot through my brother in law's OM Blackhawk years ago. Never cared for the crack of full on magnum loads, found 45 Colt and 44 S&W more to my liking. I keep thinking of picking up a Colt Clone in 5.5" persuasion some day, to fit a Barranti holster I received in a drawing years ago. If so, I'd be looking at lower powered loads in magnum brass. A 180 gr projectile over an appropriate charge of powder to reach about 1,000 fps should prove an interesting load without infringing too much on one's auditory system.
