I shoot the same revolver and your bullet of choice works well. I use a red dot sight. Near book max loads with A2400 are very accurate for me. I am only telling you my experience.
My best/most accurate load in my 8" Colt Whitetailer is with Blue Dot. Work up as lighter lods didnt shoot as well. But its the best this gun ever shot.

I shoot this 180 gr Cast Performance boolit in my 6" 686 no dash and it is scary accurate at 1220's fps. Like dhom, I load Alliant 2400 powder but have had good results with H110 but it has a LOT of flash and blast. The new 11FS from Accurate, is a near H110 powder without the excessive flash and where I starting out loading a combo like this again, I would give it a try and use magnum primers just like H110. In MHO, the 180 gr is the best weight for hunting with a 357.

IT AINT what ya shoot--its how ya shoot it. NONE of us are as smart as ALL of us!
Aside from hbwc at close range, all my magnum long barrelled revolvers are most accurate with magnum loadings. Maybe I need to get a couple gas checked molds so I can push the envelope again.

My Dan Wesson likes a bunch of 2400 and a 180 gr XTP, for collecting, probably have enough.
