If you elect to go with the 180 Hornady, the 180 Spire Point (SP) rifle bullet is a better choice than the single shot pistol (SSP)bullet. The single shot pistol bullet has a thick heavy jacket, designed for steel silhouette targets. The rifle bullet is intended for hunting.

I use the 180 SP Hornady in my Martini Cadet with a 16 inch barrel, chambered in 357 SM. It works well on critters and is very accurate. I also use the 200 with good results. However the 180 will give you about 150 fps more velocity and the energy then goes to the 180.
