I'm interested in load suggestions for 200gr .357 load with Lyman 358430 cast RN bullets.
My goal is a load that runs around 1,000 -1,1100fps out of a 6" L frame for a bowling pin load. I have a number of popular pistol powders on hand and will probably wind up using 2400 but have just started experimenting with H110 in .300 AAC Blackout.
Not a lot of .357 200gr loads out there that I've been able to find.

Well, I'm running a 358430HP weighing in at 184 grains in the .357 Ruger.

Here's what i'm using. Use at your own risk but they've been all right in my two Blackhawks.

358430HP 184.5 4227 12.0 1070 19.9 3585 FSP 1.590 OAL
358430HP 184.5 2400 11.0 1173 12.9 3585 FSP 1.590 OAL

My blackhawk likes the Herco load. Thanks Beagle.

Could you comment on the velocity differences of the two 7.5grain Herco loads.
