The LFN is excellent in 357 if not used for hunting. However the LFN meplat is too small for quick kills on game. If you gun handles pb well, and you don't need full throttle loads, pb is a good choice, but the 357 is a high pressure cartridge and if loaded at full throttle, which you might want to knock the rams over, a gc will give you complete freedom from leading when the barrel heats up, and at least 100 fps higher velocity at a given pressure when working with upper end loads. A 200 gr would be more accurate, slightly, and knock iron targets much better, while also allowing more horsepower from a plain base.
