Default Safest long term powder for 357

Hi guys, I've loaded a little bit for the 357 and now getting g back into it (was working on an M1A project).

My "go-to" for pistols (10mm. 44 mag. 357, etc.) Has been blue dot. In 357 only 158 grns, not smaller per their warnings.

Just shot some Lil Gun under some 160 grn cast powder coated, 17.3 grns. It's no slouch!! And VERY accurate in my TRR8. I've read about come erosion, so that turns me off.

With all these powders and their limitations.... is there a powder out there that is known to be safer? Not better by any means, but safer for the long run.

What I have in stock now is Red Dot, trail boss, H110, Blue Dot, 410, Longshot, IMR 4227, Tite Wad, Lil Gun and some old Scot 4100. I have no shortage of powders lol. Some of you guys must have been running the same reloads for decades and still have in spec guns. So I figured I'd ask.

Thank you in advance for the help!
