Hornady's Frontier .357 Mag JHP.
That's exactly what I do (carry jacketed rounds for reloads), and for the same reason.I load 135 grn Speer GDHPs in the speed strips and speed loaders. Because after enough time of banging around the lead hollow points will deform a little. So, lead loaded in the gun and jacketed in the speed strips and loaders.
Lately, I've been wondering if the 158s don't have another advantage that the lighter full power loads don't have. Out of a snubby, the 158s generally exit the muzzle at a bit below the speed of sound which at my altitude is generally about 1115 fps which lessens the "crack" associated with .357
