158 gr lswc over 5.9 grains of Uniquie.
Not much recoil and I can put six shots in the black (2-3 inch)at 25 feet shooting double action with my GP100.

Lyman 158 gr LSWC , 6gr of AA#5, CCI small pistol primers, WW .357 brass. Gives single digit velocity spreads and 1.5" accuracy at 25yds from a rest. I like the AA#5 a lot, it is quite versatile. I use it in .357, .44, and cast bullet rifle loads in .308, 30-30, and 30-06.

.357 Mag Cowboy Load
My favorite .357 Magnum loads for my Marlin 1894 Cowboy Limited and Ruger Blackhawk is the Saeco #358 160-gr. FN bullet, cast of wheelweights, using the federal 200 primer and 4.5 grs. of Bullseye This is about 850 f.p.s. in a 4-5/8" revolver, 900 f.p.s. in a 6" revolcver, 1060 f.p.s. in an 18" carbine and 1120 f.p.s. in a 24" rifle. It is very accurate to 100 yards in both rifle and revolver and is a good small game and nondestructive wild turkey load. I shoot more of these than any other. You can get almost identical results in .357 cases with 5 grs. of W-W231 or 6 grs. of Unique.
