I really like H110 for use with 158gr bullets in 357 magnum. Although I've used Blue Dot as well and have no problems with it.

My favorite recipe straight out of Hornady's 9th edition is:

158gr Berry's plated FP bullets or 158gr Hornady XTP
14.0gr H110
winchester small pistol magnum primers or CCI 550 / not 500 (must use magnum primers)
COL of 1.590"

With Blue Dot I used:

Hornady 158gr XTP
9.8gr Blue dot
COL 1.575"
winchester small pistol magnum primers or CCI 550 (not 500 or standard winchester small pistol)

This was actually a very good clean burning load.
