Smith & Wesson 38/357 mag barrels have 1:18 3/4" twist so your 16" Bergra is fine your 200 gr bullet really has the wrong shaped nose for good terminal performance
at subsonic velocity a HP is the best then a FP take a look at the Lyman Keith designed 358429 it performs well on animals, make your lead as soft as possible 50/50
Wheel weights and pure lead is as hard as you should go even then you may not get much expansion at full power loads, Don't try hot rodding your loads .357 mag
max pressure is 42.000 C.U.P Rifle and Pistol it is not the strength of the firearm it is the case, If you want high velocity look at Winchester 296 powder.
