Maybe the rounds are too short and hanging up on the magazine lip, feed ramp or inside the magazine. The feed ramp might need polishing. Have you tried different magazines? Presumably you've ruled out a slide-related spring problem. Maybe you got a dud box of ammo or the powder charge is too weak to cycle the slide reliably.
If you're asking for factory-loaded LRN or FMJ RN .357 Mag ammo, the only one I'm aware of is Armscor 158gr FMJ.

Perhaps even a different flat tip ammo will work depending on the size of the meplat.

I had the same problem with my Henry 357.The original ammo I used, Southern Arms bulk ammo, had a sharp transition to the flat area. I went to Federal ammo which had a rounder transition to the flat tip and eliminated the problem.

Semi wadcutters (with the ledge on them), have been a nono for feeding in my Winchester. I go black hills and the like now with no issues.

When you say flat top, are you talking truncated cone or semi-wadcutter bullets? I have 700+ rounds of jacketed flat points that wouldn't feed in my Rossi 92. JHPs and round nose flat points were not a problem.

Last night I ordered 5 different brands and types so I guess I'll see how it goes next time. I was also having feed problems with my Henry so hopefully I'll find something that will work for that also. Hornady has a special lever action load which is one of the ones I've ordered, only problem is they're expensive. http://www.cabelas.com/product/shooting/ammunition/handgun-ammunition%7C/pc/104792580/c/104691780/sc/104372280/hornady-reg-leverevolution-174-for-revolvers-and-lever-guns/740253.uts?destination=%2Fcatalog%2Fbrowse%2Fhandgun-ammunition%2Fhornady%2F_%2FN-1100189%2B1000003666%2B4294758963%2FNe-1000003666%2FNs-CATEGORY_SEQ_104372280%3FWTz_st%3DGuidedNav%26WTz_stype%3DGNU
