This thread could not have been posted at a better time. I just purchased a 357 this weekend. Took it out and man was it a blast to shoot (no pun intended)! I'm about to order some plated 158g bullets from Sage's site. Do you have a recommended powder or starting load? I am new to the 357 game. I will also be grabbing some 125g plated for loading in 38 special for it. The rounds are for paper target shooting.
