I have(had) 5-357 mags and all of them liked 158gr with H-110 or LilGun.  Reamed 3 of the single shots to 357 Max and they still like the mags.  I have just about switched all 357 mag loads to using LilGun, but I don't shoot the lighter weights.  I have taken mule deer and whitetail with the 357 out of rifles and it does a very good job with the 158gr bullets, I use XTP-FP and Rem. 158 SP.  Get on the Hodgdon powder site and get loads for H-110 there.  DP

 Before I switched to the leverevolution I was shooting winchester white box 125gr jsp. Took many whitetails with them, the furthest was 134 paces duble lunged him and blew out the driver side shoulder he dropped right there. thanks for the info!
