Anyone have any reloading data on the 357 sig? Or favorite loads? 0 -
I just follow the Lyman manual. Its a little tricky to reload since there is not much case to grab the bullet. I think I will invest in the Dillon dies even though they are more expensive since they do a good job sizing and taper crimping.
Watch your overall bullet length closely. I had problems with the bullets slipping back into the case, and that can create some dangerous pressure levels.0 -
You must have a newer lyman book than I do... 0 -
Buy a reloading manual. Only a suicidal idiot would use date from a public form. Here is an example - Yea I load for 357 sig all the time. I like 60 grains of bullseye behind a 180 gr bullet. I get moa at 200 yds. Try it -

The newer Lyman manual has data for the 357 Sig. I had to upgrade since all my own old manuals didn't include data for that round.
Its a hot little round, it like it a lot, shoot it out of a Glock 32. Nice woods carry gun. Will kick the tar out of most anything up to 200 lbs or so.0 -
I have Nosler & Hornady data for the 357 Sig. if that would help.
Don't know what bullets/powder you are using. Also have Winchester data for their one listed powder/bullet combo............0 -
Maybe mbsams should take time out and grow up. 0 -
I agree I don't know why folks get uptight about helping others. I think you can figure out very quickly if data is off base. Use the manual as your guide, baseline. Reloaders will share their most accurate favorite target loads and you can compare them with the manual to make sure the provided load is within a safe range.
The manual gives you the min and max loads for each weight bullet. Although you will notice from manual to manual there is a slight difference of opinion as to what the range is.
I always recomend you start with light target loads, try them out and work up to more powerful loads to see if you prefer them, then decide where you want to go with your prefered load. Its a lot of fun. Good Luck.
If you need more info or want my prefered loads simply send me an e-mail and I will tell you what I am currently using.0 -
I shot some yesterday. I use 8.2 gr AA5 with 125 fmj bullet. 0
