I load more remmie 158 SJHPs with 7.4 grains of Unique than all my other cartridges put together. It shoots very well outta both my 6'' 686 and the 20'' carbine. They're relatively cheap to load, accurate, easy on the gun and easy on the shooter......and a pound of Unique seems to last forever. Whenever I take a new shooter to the range with the .357s, it's the first load I let them shoot.

My 686 seems to prefer H110/W296 or Lil' Gun over 2400 when it comes to true magnum loadings..... with H110/W296 proving to be the most accurate with 158s, and Lil' Gun with heavier bullets. My best results with 2400 were using 14.5 under the 158s.
