Acquired a .357 S&W a while back and passed it on to my daughter. It came with a bunch of ammo,several hundred rounds of reloads as the guy was a police instructor. My normal policy is to pull all loads that I didn't load. Everything is loaded in mag cases so figured on saving them. I did try 2 that had 158gr lead bullets-target loads?-- but found them a bit "snappy" for my taste,so figured I'd pull everything. Incidentally there's no labeling except for the majority which have 158grJHP and are marked as "Hot-Hunting" or "Very Hot-Personal Defense." Started impact pulling and quit, the cases are crimped beyond belief. Did get one core out but can't extract the jacket. Only thing I can see is maybe shoot the target loads which are marked as 5.0grWSF and scrap the rest as the bullets won't come out. Just more reasons why you don't shoot others' reloads. GW
