I have .357's in 3", 4", 6", 8-3/8", and 16" bbls. The 16" being a Henry.
Just so you know, I tend to be a fast powder guy. I don't like big flashes and booms with tons of propellant burning in the air in front of my barrels. I've come of age where that just seems silly to me.
With 158 grain bullets (all jacketed for this discussion), I load almost entirely with 2400. Performance is great in all my guns. However, in my Henry rifle, I move to Winchester 296 (which is the same as H-110 under a different label). In the Henry, moving from 2400 to W296 gives me an extra 100 f/s; whereas, the W296 gives but a few extra f/s in the revolvers - with a ton of additional flash-boom-recoil.
IMHO YMMV
