Dave Markowitz's Blog O'Stuff about computing, shooting, RKBA, and whatever else I feel like ranting about.
A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.

About time, Dave! I had 2 loads I used in 357 cases for plinking that were fun and accurate. Both used a 148gr DEWC with either (not both!) a charge of 3.7gr 700X or 2.2gr Bullseye. No recoil, minimal noise and accurate.
Good luck and have fun!
If I may give a plug for my small business: there are some good reloading videos for rent here:

Kewl. Are you going for full-power .357 loads, or light loads? Those Speer swaged bullets are kind of soft, so you may want to resist the urge to try to push them really fast, unless you're talking about using them for hunting or serious social purposes.
I'm planning on loading them up as standard velocity .38s, for the most part. The indoor range where I shoot handgun most frequently doesn't allow magnums due to noise.
I may eventually load some .38 +Ps to duplicate the FBI load, which is my defense load of choice, even in .357s.
