I use 3.6 of HP-38 currently for my .357 loads, was the only thing I could get hold of at the time. Looking to try out bullseye next time round.

Vihtavuori N320 is my go to for such calibres/velocities.
Far more reliable supply than the yankee labelled powders.

Re: Best powder for reloading .357
While we are on the subject, what powder (that is easily available) could I use to replace the Herco that I will be running out of soon. I would prefer if possible something that performs the same and same-ish weight/bulk.
Forgive me if I'm using the wrong terminology.
To be used in my Alfa MLR btw.
