What do you think ? Hodgdon HP-38 @ 6.2 .. Remington 158 gr jhp .. New Winchester brass .. Winchester WSPM Primer .. This is a good mix so far, What can I change, For a little better accuracy ?.. Maybe a slower burning powder.

Thanks for your time

  Your 6.2 load is the starting load in the book. You can go up to 6.9 max. If you are happy, stick with it. There are a bunch of powders that work good in the 357. If you have some it never hurts to work another load.

  The first thing I'd do is to switch to a standard primer. That load doesn't need a magnum primer, and the excessive power may be hurting accuracy.

  Alliant's 2400 powder is great in the 357 mag.

  H110 is my go to powder for true magnum performance in the 357. I've heard H4227 is also a good choice. I used mag primers with the mag type powders.
  
  For all other loads, plinking and 38 special, I use Unique with great success. Standard primers.

  I have always preferred Hodgdon H110 or Winchester 296 for powder in the 357 for heavy bullets

  Go with the standard primer and I do like that Titegroup!
  
  You're doing great by starting at the low end and working up. Every gun is different and loads have to be tailored to your baby
