Ammo-To-Go has 158gr LSWC ammo from MagTech and Remington in stock on their site.
WADCUTTER Ammo : Ammunition To Go
Finding factory LSWC .357 Magnum ammo is going to be more difficult if not almost impossible. MagTech does make them but finding them is a totally different story.
Grizzly Cartridges makes a 180gr Lead Wide Flat Nose .357 Magnum round that is very hot but it's not really what you asked about.

I just did a quick search of my regular ammo on-line shops, all I see is average 357 stuff - 1300 fps 158gr HP and JHP, and only a couple of LSWC listed. Everyone wants hollow points, everyone sells hollow points.
The hottest factory loads I know of (and there may be others) come from Double-Tap - typically 1600-1700 fps from 4" bbl.
Example here (not LSWC though):
DoubleTap Ammunition
Buffalo Bore also has some 1500 fps rounds. This might be the 'warm' stuff for which you are looking. Still it is not LSWC.
I have a box someone gave me of 125gr Double Tap I won't even shoot in my K frame 13-1.

I completely agree and setting up a press can be less expensive than you think.
I don't know if it is still loaded the same way as it was when I was using it years ago, but Fiocchi ammo seems to lean toward the warm side.
That may have changed if the lawyers got them to dumb it down (like many ammo manufactures) to protect them from the ambulance chasers.

Midway has the Magtech .357 version in stock...
Sport Ammo 357 Mag 158 Grain Lead Semi-Wadcutter Box of 50
I been thinking about getting some myself to explore the terminal capabilities of old .357 standard projectile.
