This group was shot in my FA with 15.0 grs. H-108 [same as #9] Starline brass Rem. 71/2 Rcbs 180 Sil. Redding profile crimp at 100 yrds. With your 200 grn. bullet 13.0 grns. should be a good start.

If you haven't read it there's a good article at LASC.US. Featured articles by Todd Spotti, part 1 & 2 on loading .357 FA loads.
