Alliant did not extend the Blue Dot warning to 158gr bullets so if you choose to you can still safely use Blue Dot there.

If you want to stick with Alliant powders give Power Pistol a try. Another older powder that is similar to Blue Dot is Herco and it's been used for middle to middle hot .357 loads for a long time.

Other powders in that range are HS-6, True Blue, AA#7, W572 and a few others.
