Speer offers a 170g JSP prod. code 4230. Hornaday has a 180 JHP SKU: 35771 but production has been suspended. My favorite heavy weight .357 is an old Lyman / Keith Style LSWC that casts at about 174g.

Don't know if they still make it but Speer had a 358dia 180gr at one time for the likes of the 35 Remington. I used those when I hunted deer with my Supermag.

Years ago, I picked some 180 HP from MSSS , they were Remington. Those were the good ole days when bulk Remington was available

I used 180 XTPs in my contender 357 Max. They were very accurate. Sold the barrel so not using any more.

There are several 180 grain pistol and rifle bullets that can be used in both the magnum and maximum.

Speer offers a 180 TMJ and a 200 TMJ bullet that are for revolvers or single shot guns and the offer the 180 FSP for single shot only - you can seat them deep enough for use in the maximum but not the magnum and you have to reduce your load considerably.

Sierra offers the 180 FPJ match bullet that was designed for silhouette but it is also good for hunting from the Maximum. They also have Maximum loads for their 200 JRN rifle bullet

Hornady used to make a 180 spire point but I havent seen any in a while - I still have a box or two in the cabinet - but I am not letting go of them. They are great in the Maximum.


Speer, Sierra, Lyman, Hornady, Hodgdon have reliable reloading data. You won't find it on so and so's web page.

Like Paul said, I don't know anyone that makes a 180 JSP, but the Sierra Flat Point Jacketed comes close. The lead is exposed but the jacket goes all the way to the top.
