Looks like you have plenty of brass to start with. Just make sure your brass has only one hole in the bottom for the primer and is brass, not aluminum. Check it for splits or buldges. I wouldn't worry about the factory hot rounds but if you feel uncomfortable with them it's your choice. You may want to consider loading your rounds a bit lighter than full .357 power and use lead bullets for practice ammo. Save considerable $ over jacketed bullets. Every manufactures brass is a little different, as you reload you will develop a preference. A load I like to use is a .357 case, standard small pistol primer, 125g lead bullet, 5.0g of titegroup powder. about 1000fps in a 6" barrel. Good inexpensive, accurate practice round. As you load be absolutely sure to never double charge a round with powder. Buy some loading manuals and do a lot of reading before you start.
