Where to find 180 gr jacketed bullets???

I have 99 pcs of Hornady 35 cal .358 180 gr sp ss/ph. The box is also marked #3505. Is that what you're looking for?

For a Ruger GP100 handgun. Are those compatible?

38 Cal .357 180 gr HP XTP® I think is what I need, or similar.
Maybe .38 CALIBER (.357) 180 GR. FPJ MATCH Sierra.

I think these rounds are more for hunting using one of the pistol calibre carbines. If your research indicates that they will work for you send me a pm. I'll never use them.

I use the 180 Hornady XTP in my GP100 loaded over H110. It knocks down steel plates with authority!

I've got maybe 175 of the Hornady 180 gr. CL-SIL #3577 if thats what you are looking for. PM me for a price. I think they were originally designed for the Handgun Hunter Silhouette game.

If you are going to go up from 158-160 grain in a 357 make sure you read your manuals. You can get high pressure spikes from heavier bullets in a revolver with normal pistol powders..

using the 180 XTP in my S&W Model 28, metal plates don't stand a chance, bang flop bang flop

Ya i looked and it seems they are indeed for carbines, thanks though.

The 180 XTPs can be used in most .357 revolvers IF the cylinder in a particular revolver is long enough to let them chamber. The GP100 will chamber them with no problems just make sure you use a good healthy crimp when loading.

I just don't shoot much jacketed stuff out of my wheelguns anymore, but I have a Lyman mold for a GC 195 gr RN (358630 I believe) that I'm going to send to the states to have flat-pointed and hope I can get about 215 gr out of it. I'll report on how it works...

How much would you call healthy? I use a Lee factory crimp die.

Yes, that will work well.
