I never knew he was a gun guy, let alone reloader.

You might have heard of Wayne Gibbs; he was half of the Hensley and Gibbs mould business...
This guy has info on 231 and 296 powders. Not exactly what you are looking for but info on 200g 357mag is pretty slim.
Reloading .357 Magnum Page
Well, sinceI only have H110 and A2400. That's why the choice of powder.
They will fit in a 19 but a 27 cylinder is shorter. I also had to modify my seating die to keep from putting marks on top of the nose of the bullet.The reason there is little data for a 200 gr. bullet in a .357 magnum may have something to do with the OAL being too long if seated in a cannelure.
Actually, that would be the .38 LC round, not the S&W and certainly not the S&W Special round.Hey all:
Back in the dat, the US of A army used the 200 gr. lead in the 38 S&W against the MOros....the 32-20 of the day didn't stop them. The 200 gr. slug TUMBLES in the 38 S&W load. Worked good!
HMMMMM....
Maybe this would be a good self defense load in the 38 SPECIAL, velocity of 700-800 fps!?
Back in the day, this 200 gr. lead was a POLICE round, too!
HMMM...

Which half?
Looks like Herco is the speed demon there.
