340PD Titanium cylinder concerns

[Cal44]

I like the CCI Blazer 158gr .357 loads. They're a medium load, and the 5th round in the cylinder will very slightly jump the crimp.

I shoot these CCI Blazer loads for practice in my LCR 357.

The LCR 357 is a little heavier than either 340 and I have never noticed CJ, but frankly haven't looked for it.

There are two versions of the CCI Blazer 158 357 Magnum -- Aluminum case and brass case.

The brass ones are noticeable more powerful, but still a medium load by 357 Magnum standards.

I'm a fan of the Speer Gold Dot 357 Magnum, 135 Gr, short barrel load.

It's about the same felt recoil as the the Blazer Brass, and gives more consistent expansion in published gel tests than the 38 Sp+P version of the 135 gr Gold Dot.

It's controllable for me in the LCR 357. Not what I'd want for a relaxing range day shooting 100 rnds, but who wants to pay for 100 rnds of Gold Dot?
