Accurate 35-147S with Power Pistol and HS-6. Used starting load for 147gr XTP minus a couple tenths of a grain.

I use Accurate #9 almost exclusively. It fills the case and provides some additional security agains bullet setback because there's no room in the case for the bullet to move.

I won't use anything faster than Unique in my 357sig. I have run 124grLTC (Magma) & the 147gr RCBS, modified to a 135grLHP with 6.5gr of Unique for a mild 1050-1100fps load.

Here are some red dot loads for the 357 sig from Alliant 2001 data manual. These are all max loads so reduce 10% to start.
90 jhp-7.1gr-1495fps
115jhp-6.4gr-1285fps
124fmj-6.0gr-1215fps
No loads listed for heavier boolits
