I carry a 4in GP100. I am old school when it comes to ammo I use. I use the Remington R357M1 SJHP or Federal 357B JHP. Does anyone else carry old school ammo in their weapons?
Well, if I was to pack my Ruger 3 inch 'Canadian' .357 I'd use the new Buffalo Bore 140 gr. DPX style HP at 1430 fps (yes it gets that!!!)I carry a 4in GP100.

Everybody used to make a 158 GR lead semiwadcutter for the .357 Magnum. It was the original load. I can't find it anywhere anymore. The last I found was Remington a few years ago.

I use the same load in my Taurus® 7 shot 2¼" barrel Mdl 617SS2 357 Magnun; specifically Fiocchi® #357XTP.dickydalton said:A 158 XTP Hollow Point @ 1100 FPS, out of an SP 101 2.25" is OK, I'd guess. I haven't shot anyone lately to test it though.
