Looking to shoot 200 grain bullets out of my 357 SM . Selections could be jacketed or they could be cast .

I’m looking for geometry where I can keep the overall cartridge length under 2.120” so it will fit in the cylinder of the SuperMag without having to seat and crimp into the ogive . Perhaps a WFN-GC ?

If jacketed , I’m not concerned where the cannelure is located because I’ve got the Corbin cannelure tool and I’m able to swage an additional groove anywhere along the bearing surface of the bullet . If it is cast  , I don’t care how many or where the cannelures are located because I can set the bullet up in a 5C collet / lathe and with a Kaiser ThinBit turn another groove wherever I need to .

SAECO has a mold # 35399 ( 200 gr FP ) that appears to have 2 cannelures and Lyman has mold #2660430 ( 195 gr RN ) .

Anyone have any experience with these bullets from these molds loaded in the 357 Maximum ?

Anyone aware of hard cast bullets already made with this geometry where I can buy them already to load ?

Thank you in advance .
