Has anyone developed an accurate 200 yd load for the 357 Max.  If so, what bullet and what powder?

The 357 maximum is a ringer for the 38 Ballard extra long. 
I use an LBT 180gr. plain base long nose bullet over 30 grs. (by weight) of Old Eynsford 3F powder. Any primer. 

It's a consistant 2 MOA or less in my TC carbine.

A friend shot handgun Big Bore Silhouette out to 200yards
with his Wichita International pistol. Don't know twist.
He loaded 180 and 200 grain RCBS FN cast bullets over w680/w1680 powder. According to then "loading manual" published loads.
Did Very Well with it.   
I shot one 80 round match with it. A real handful.

Contact Mike Mulhern up in Alaska for more load data.
He shoots matches with his 357Maxi Martini Cadet.
I think both smokeless and BP.
