First, you should realize that the DW 357 SuperMag is actually
chambered for a cartridge called the 357 SuperMag not withstanding the
fact that it is marked 357 Maximum. The 357 SuperMag is a bit longer
than the 357 Maximum and handles heavier bullets better.

I don't have any specific loads to hand, but in general, leave the
light bullet hyper velocity loads to the single shots. Go for a
bullet weight of 158 grains or heavier. That's what this revolver was
meant to shoot in the first place. Most of the scare stories that
used to circulate about the 357 Maximum eating revolvers stemmed from
light bullet hyper velocity loads using the wrong powder.

Nominal length of the 357 Maximum case is 1.605 inch. The SuperMag
case is 1.610 inch not much different. I buy 357 Maximum empty brass
and generally find it to actually be 1.610. Most of the extra length
in the 357 SuperMag is due to seating heavy bullets out farther for
more OAL, allowing a bit more powder room. I know a guy who has a
Ruger 357 maximum, the 357 SuperMag loads will not chamber in it, the
bullet sticks out the front of the cylinder.
