Nice article. Although, at this point, I'd be happy to pick up any .357 loads. Just been hard to find locally...

I’m not a fan of the 110gr .357 loads; you really don’t gain much velocity over a 125gr, and they shouldn’t be used in some ultralight revolvers (S&W’s Airweight PD models, specifically).

I like Remington’s Golden Saber (in snubs particularly), as well as their classic 125gr SJHP for defensive loads.
