    .357 rimless max.

    I'm starting to swage .358 projectiles for the .357 rimless max. AR. Has anyone swaged any using .223 cases as jackets. I was checking out Quick Loads and they use some where around 0.890 for a 180 gr. I'm using a .358 5r Spitzer type die to make the projectiles. The 180 gr. 35 cal speer hot cor measures .860. I believe I can get up to 1.1" with the Swaging die, any information will be helpful.
    Thanks,
    Bill

    Thanks all for the additional information, however I apologize for the duplicate thread. I didn't quite fully understand the original tbread.

    Tell me a little more about the 358's you make. I am only interested in pointy projectiles. My die is a 5s open tip. My drawing dies can make .357 or .308, however I don't know what Weight range the 9mm can produce in an open tip.
