I have a small stash of the 135gr .357 Gold Dot, that sometimes gets carried, but most of the time I'm carrying 158gr XTP handloads that are mid + range .357 velocity (13.5gr of 2400). The .357's get far more woods/desert use than in town, hence the XTP being #1 for me.
I have not seen the .357 Gold Dot load available for several years now. Which is unfortunate, as I think its a good "carry" .357 load that isn't nuke level hot, and thus more useful for that application.
