As you have found out the 357 with heavy bullets is a or can be a hard nut to crack. I would like to know what powder and powder weight you are using and what specific bullet you are using. Also, are you shooting a snake?
One of the problems you have with the 180gr bullets is that some have a very tough jacket while others are designed to expand at reasonable velocity. The trick can be even with the bullets that do expand to get your load up to the needed velocity and the 6 inch barrel is a disadvantage in that regard. If your 357 does not sound like a rifle when fired, you are not even close to fast enough yet.
I am a old silhouette shooter who ran 357 Mag and the 357 Super Mags for about 20 odd years in competition. So I am pretty sure I can get something to work for you.
