The only calibers I do not regularly reload for are rimfire obviously and 9mm. I do have all the components to reload 9 in case of a shortage, but right now I can buy it at under 8 a box, which is close to an early 90’s price so why bother

I reloaded for it before all my reloading gear was ruined by flooding. Sucked.

I don't reload it, but the cost has me shooting less of it.

I reload all of my center fire cartridges.

Reload it, maybe buy it if it is a good price.

Back when I was reloading the .357 with 125gr jhp's I had a lot of success using Blue Dot powder, it was a very clean burning powder also, much cleaner than when I used H110. I don't currently remember how many grains of Blue Dot but accuracy with the 6" python was great at about 1760fps which was fast but manageable without much recoil with a 6" barrel.

I bought 3-4 boxes of 357 Ammo back round 1990. Have loaded countless thousands of round for it before and since.

I reload all of my pistol calibers and have not purchased a box of factory since Obama first got into office.

Depends on how much .357 Mag you shoot and what the purpose is. I don't use it much anymore, but I did a lot of .357 shooting 25-30 years ago.

Carried a M19 4" for quite a while. Also had a M28 6" I used for woodchucks.

Other than a .32 Seecamp, I have always reloaded for all of my handguns and rifles. The .357 Mag/.38 Spl is probably the most versatile out there if you handload. The huge range regarding performance and recoil is enormous. You can do whatever you want with the loads.

Contrary to popular belief, you don't have to practice exclusively with SD carry ammo. I've had several instances over the decades with carry guns that have proven that (for me anyway).

I usually practice defensive shooting with what I carry in the range door. Unload carry ammo, shoot reloads, load carry ammo, go home and clean. Several times I have forgotten to dump the factory loads before shooting. Sometimes I noticed the difference (recoil/noise), sometimes I didn't. Regardless, it made no difference since the target had the same group size with whatever I shot. When you are doing some serious practice, it's easy to focus 100% on the task at hand and not ancillary things like recoil. This has happened with my Ruger SP101 3" .357, S&W M19/66/686, 1911 .45, P229 .40 and Glock 9 mm (carry is 115gr +P+).

If you don't reload, you should consider it. Besides cost, it provides much more versatility and enjoyment than just factory.

Reload it. It's cheap to reload and extremely versatile. I don't shoot .38's through mine but load a, "Light magnum" in full length .357 cases with Universal Clays powder.
