I have a lot of 168 to 170 gr 357 cast SWC that were given to me and i seem to have misplaced my sheet with all my load data for that bullet. Anybody have any data that they have used for 38 and 357 ?

  Depends on your powder selection. Start about 10% lower than the more common 158gr loads. checkout this site for info.

  The Lyman Reloading Handbook, ed.47, has loads for 168 gr. lead bullets. Probably in the later editions also.

  My just-a-bit-under-max-loads for that size lead bullet come out at 1.537" length:
  
  Unique 4.7 gr for about 800 fps
  Bullseye 4.0 gr for about 820 fps
  Blue Dot 7.0 gr for about 820 fps
  AA5 4.8 gr for about 830 fps.
  
  There are lots of loads for 168 gr lead from the Lyman #47 handbook as Navc130 posted.
