    Anybody load 357 Sig?

    Since it's a bottle nose, any particulars I need to know, will be using carbide dies if I can find them. With regular straight case like 45acp and 40 s&w you don 't need to lube sinc eyou use carbide

    I reload the Sig cartridge...Started out with Blue dot powders and now am using VV340..Since it is a bottlenecked case and its only a .355 bullet, you have to get the crimp just right...Will have to make some dummy cases and experiment with it...Becareful because you can push back the bullet and increase the PSI on the case when chambering if you don't have the crimp right..but once you get it, it's easy to reload...Just started casting lead bullets for it...will see how that goes...No need to buy sig bullets, use the 9mm FP bullets and you should do fine....

      Here is some of the help I got when I started. I settled on Rainier 124 gr FP with a max of 13.0 gr of AA-9. Have fun, it's a great round. When you shoot it full power, it's a boomer. When people ask what you're shooting, tell them 9mm.
