Anyone have any reloading data on the 357 sig? Or favorite loads? 0 -
Very interesting! I have stayed away from 357sig. I just don't want to add another caliber. A friend made a deal for a Sig 229 in 357 and was asking about this subject. We don't run across much 357 sig brass and I simply told him to get a .40 barrel to save the trouble. I'm glad you have had positive results and that you actually "have" results! Not just repeating something you read on some forum.
The 357 sig looks like a great caliber, 38super+P velocites with none of the problems in an affordable gun, and now brass for it is dirt cheap!0 -
Yes! We have 5 Gallon Buckets full of .40 Smith & Wesson Brass, given to us by various agencies. 0 -
Thanks for the information. I have a Sig 229 and just love it, very accurate. Since I shoot 40 S&W I will definately check it out. Thanks! 0 -
I just bought a bunch of fired 357Sig cases and sorting and inspecting it, I found several 40S&W cases that appear as if someone tried to form into 357Sig cases. They were shorter than the factory 357Sig cases.
Since I do not know what they were doing or how they were doing it, when I have my reloading equipment setup again, I will have to personally try it and see what my results are.0 -
The first .357 SIG ammunition to appear here when the caliber was new on the market was in necked down .40s under a commercial reloader's label. For some months it was the only game in town. 0 -
Forming .357 Sig Cases out of .40 Smith & Wesson Cases, is no more involved then lubing the case, and running it into a .357 Sig Die. 0 -
How about neck thickness increase on the reformed brass?
Neck length on standard 357 SIG brass is plenty short as it is.
I'd watch for bullet setback when using shorter brass.0 -
As I said, The case after reforming is only .005 after shorter that a standard case. If yo have done any reloading you will know that this is within the standard deviation of factory brass, from manufacture to manufacturer. The proof is in the shooting. As I said,12 head shots at 25 meters, Velocity of 1470 fps. No abnormal signs of pressure. All the negativity from these people who say you cannot reform .367 Sig Brass from .40 Smith & Wesson Brass, are a lot like arm chair quarterbacks. They talk a good game, but they have never done it. I on the other hand, have been reloading for over 42 years and am an NRA Certified Reloading Instructor. 0 -
reloaded plenty of 357 sig for my glock 31, easy caliber to reload. I have stocked up on thousands of shells for reloading. 0 -
