    Go to your powder supplier [retail store] and ask for the powder chart for the powder man. you use. They are usually free. If he doesn't have it, he can order it or you can request 1 from the address on the powder container.

    You can also get reloading data from some of the powder manufacturer's websites.edit: try http://petej55.home.mindspring.com/ Be aware that the .357 SIG is very picky about the profile for suitable bullets; most 9mm (.355 dia.) bullets - though the correct diameter - have an ogee profile that won't allow correct seating depth at the required cartridge overall length.In addition, since the cartridge has a very short neck length - being derived from the .40 S&W cartridge (but NOT made from them) - proper crimp is essential and somewhat more troublesome than other taper crimp rounds; the seated bullets can, under recoil, be pulled out of the cases while still in the magazine, or worse, be forced out of the brass when chambered in your weapon of choice.Be careful: the hands and eyes you save will be your own.[This message has been edited by spclark (edited 03-15-2002).][This message has been edited by spclark (edited 03-15-2002).]

    No problem; glad to be of help.More important: didn't want you hurting yourself (or those around you when you shoot) should you want to start experimenting, without knowing some of the dangers peculiar to this particular cartridge.
