Lead does everything I need in 357 for a lot less expense.

About 32 years ago a shooting buddy introduced me to lead "to see if I liked them".

I had been shooting maximum velocity 357 and 44 magnums, and had discovered the triple miseries: high velocity=lots of recoil, lots of barrel fouling, lots of missed targets.

Lead: moderate velocity, no fouling, lots of hit targets. Incredibly less time cleaning barrel. More fun. Less cost buying cast lead boolits.

So the next 30+ years I never loaded a jacketed slug for ANY pistol caliber.

I prefer cast lead in nearly everything I shoot.
