A lot of good responses on here. If you can afford it, try a variety and see which is the most accurate for your revolver. Full fledged 357s can be a bit much indoors, but I do keep my Colt King Cobra stoked with Hornady Critical Defense .357 mag 125 gr JHP based on the fact that they shoot well out of my revolver and I can find them relativity easy, which makes it great to practice with now and then. Also I was impressed how they performed in this video - .357 Magnum Hornady Critical Defense Ammo Gel Test - YouTube
Another decent option is Remington's somewhat affordable 158gr SJHP .357 mags, which I keep in my S&W 686. Here's a video on that - .357 Magnum Remington 158 gr SJHP Ammo Test - YouTube
I can never find Winchester's 145 gr Silvertips for the .357, but I know they have performed well in the past and don't quite have the blast of a 125 gr .357 mag round.
.38 Spl +Ps are always a good choice too, especially if shooting the .357 mag is a bit too much indoors. The old FBI load - 158gr LSWHP has a great track record under it's belt and I keep my S&W Model 10s stoked with those. I feel confident with any of those options in my guns. Good luck.
