Interesting. Why on the 357 mag do you prefer the 158 gr XTP to the 180 gr XTP? Just curious. I have not heard of Mimek bullets before. Who sells Mimek bullets?

"158 gr XTP to the 180 gr XTP"

Not for any reason - but I have only good experience with the 158. And my hunting with this caliber will be limited to animals up to 100 lbs.
I buy Mimek in Norway - so I can`t answer your question.

I didn't realize you were using the 158 gr XTP for animals 100 lbs and less. I agree it should be adequate for that class of game.
If you're buying Mimek in Norway that explains why I've never seen them in the USA. I know I spend too much time looking at reloading components and couldn't figure out why I had never seen them.
