Anybody reloading 357sig


Recommended Posts

Posted

Looking for a recipe for 357 sig using 115gr round nose FMJ. Looked at Hodgdon website and they have a listing for a 115gr Hornaday XTP bullet. Is it basically only the weight of the bullet that creates the pressure. They show a starting load with 6.5gr of Universal that only makes 31,600 psi with the XTP. Think if I started with that load in the FMJ it would work in my Glock 33 alright.

I have found on mine that if you use round nose the bullet seats to far into the case and falls in. I run 115grn Hornady xtp hollow points cause of the flat tip. I load mine with AA #9 cause it fills the case and helps with setback and I also use the lee factory crimp die to make sure they will not setback during chambering. If i remember correctly I am using 12.7grns of powder. Could be wrong though. all my load data is on my home computer.
