    How about BlueDot
    I have achieved higher velocities with less muzzle flash and less recoil compared to WW296 in the 357.
    Although looking at Alliant's 300-MP, seems to be getting huge velocities.

    Were I buying a powder just for the 357 mag, I'd choose between 2400 or W296/H110, with the 2400 being more 'versatile'. The 2400 will often not require a mag primer, whereas most or all the loading data I've read for the 296/110 data recommends a mag primer, and the 2400 can be downloaded from full mag, which is not recommended for the 296/110.

    My 45th edition of Lyman lists: 158 grain with 5.5 grains (801 fps) to 8.0 grains (1152 fps) for 357 loads
    158 grain with 3.5 grains (660 fps) to 5.4 grains (1002 fps) for 38 special loads......for UNIQUE powder
    When guns are outlawed only criminals and the government will have them and at that time I will see very little difference in either!
