Does anyone use the 158gr copper plated .357 bullets from Hannam's? If so, what is your preferred powder and charge weight?

I use 38spl data in magnum cases. 5.5gn of N320, for around 950fos. It is a really nice load to shoot. Accurate to beyond 50yds comfortably and around 2800 rounds per Vhit kilo!
In 1978 I was told by my grand dad that the secret to rifle accuracy is, a quality bullet, fired down a quality barrel..... How has that changed?
