In my 45’s I carry either the gold dot or hydra shok bullet but I’d have no issue with a SWC design because it will cut a clean 45 caliber hole thru a lot of flesh and bone. My one 357 has 125 JHP in it but it’s only brought out and shot occasionally. I’ve never tried any lead bullets in a 357 but would be concerned about leading the barrel and magnum pressures.
Been shooting HC in 357 and 41 mag for bout 30 years now never had a problem with leading at magnum velocities with a properly sized 18 to 20 brinnel hard cast. Swaged or ~12 brinnel cast definitely.
