      It took me awhile to get it down. At first, setback was an issue. Now I use a .40 carbide die then the Dillon .357 SIG one. No lube that way. Rainier 124gr CPFP bullets (1.140 OAL) with AA#2 or Power Pistol powder. Lee Factory Crimp die.

      Accurate and impressive.

        I do 1.140 also. If it sets back a couple of thou, no harm. How much Power Pistol?

          I've loaded anywhere from 5.0 (too low) to 9.2 (too high). Settled on 8.0 (1330 fps out of a 4.4" SIG P226).
