G'day Guys,
Up until now I've managed to get my hands on enough discounted factory ammo to keep me entertained, but I'm going to have to look into hand loading for this cartridge shortly, I went ahead a few weeks ago and picked up a Lee 3 die set, as well as the Lee factory crimp die for 357sig.
I currently load a couple of rifle calibers as well as 9mm for my CZ Shadow 2 aswell as the better halves Shadow 2, I'm currently using APS450, Winchester Small pistol primers and Winchester 124gr RN FMJ, running them through a Lee pro1000 progressive.
Having a look at ADI data for the 357sig gives me a little to work with, but not a great deal. Is anyone here loading this cartridge with APS450?
Ideally I'd like to stick to APS450 aswell as the 124gr win fmj, as I usually have quite a bit of both on hand, but I'm not worried about running with a different powder and projectile combo if there's a better combination that someone suggests.
Pistol is a Sig Sauer 1911 Nightmare Fastback.
My first instincts were to start on reduced loads and work up, but even easier, is asking the question here where someone might have travelled this road
