I love H110, but not with a plain base lead bullet.

H110 (also known as W296) is an intense, hot burning powder that is ONLY suitable for FULL Power loads. Get yourself some nice JHPs of if you want to stick with lead, they need to have a gas check. Do not reduce loads with H110/W296

Your 158s and HP38 (also known as W231) is a great combination for the 357 Magnum. I load it with 5 grains for nice midrange performance. I have been shooting this load for 4 decades so far. You could load as hot a 7 grains, but there is no advantage to driving that lead projectile that fast.

I actually love the H110 with a Winchester 125 grain Winchester JHP in my magnums
