The .357's vaunted reputation was and is made on the full effort 125 grn jacketed or semi jacketed hollow point. Specifically Remington’s 125 grn. sjhp as other posters have already noted. Though there are now other good 1450 fps loads available.

If you can get Remington’s 125 grn sjhp it’s a full effort 1450 fps load and a good choice. Their 125 grn Golden Saber load is only a 1250 fps offering and I would not choose it.

FYI there are a lot of weak 125 loads out there (not 1450 fps) that I’d avoid.

The 110 grn loads are all to be avoided if you can handle the full effort 125’s.
