Hi all, Been out of the loop for a while. Decided to pack up some guns and ammo and head to the range. I have been a stranger at Martin County for some time. Put together a trio,Nighthawk GRP, S&W Ti.(no lock). and the best kept secret in the gun world Steyr M357A1. 350 total assorted rounds. Shot the Ti. no surprises, Nighthawk same, M357A1 spectacular the most interesting and fun gun I have ever owned, and I have had hundreds. Not one problem W/Steyr ever. If Steyr ever made a S357A1 and I could get it locally I would retire my G-19. Shot some 88 grn Rems. Wulf gave me a load I reduced it some what. Incredible !!!!!!!!! Power Pistol is a great powder for 357 Sig.also shot some 125 Speer's FMJ/ PP handloads. sensational. Loading the Sig round is a bit involved. Two sizing operations, size with carbide 40 then run them thru a 357 sizer for the neck operation. Has any one used the Dillon 357 Sig carbide sizing die? A bit expensive but if it works I would buy it. Good to be back shooting, especially my M357A1.. Steyr should get on the stick and start pushing their superior product. Spokes
Good to hear! Hey, Spokes, a buddy of mine who is heavy into reloading just picked up a M9-A1...had been tempted by going with the .40/.357 Sig rig, since he is equipped to reload. Anyway, you're right on all counts - Steyr is an unknown gem (my buddy is hard-core gunnie, only knew of them by rep...when he shot my S9 he fell in love), and the .357 Sig is an impressive round. Sorry I can't shed any light on the reloading equip...haven't done that for about 30 years. 7
Spokes, it sounds like we live in the same neck of the woods..........and I have my Dillon set up for 357sig. I'll PM you on that more....but I have not had a lot of success with the Dillon and 357sig.... I have had more success with my RCBS turret press and a combo of dies from Hornady, Lee.......but that could be me trying to set up the Dillon....... :roll:
Shooter, I stopped using my Dillon 550 also, now use my RCBS Rock Chucker. Much better, but takes a long time. My Dillon loads shoot good but look crappy. Have you ever used the Montana Gold 125 grn FMJ's? for the Sig. Spokes
