For 357 Sig, if it's an option for you, consider boring/reaming the lube grooves out and powder coating it. That gives more surface area for the marginal 357 neck to hold on too. (I really wish Sig had designed that with a bit more neck, but that's a different topic.) The new-ish Lee 95-RF with the same treatment is another great 357 Sig bullet because of the short nose.
