Could someone with a copy of Lyman’s Cast Bullet Manual #4 give us a list of the lead boolits and powders listed for reloading 357Sig? If any?

I would buy the new book if it had some new data for the 357Sig.

Thanks

Lyman in their regular 49th ed determined that the short neck of the 357 SIG was unsuitable for any of their cast bullets so 357 SIG isn't listed in the #4 Manual.

waste of time they wont shoot good enough to hit a box if you were inside it. also dont try the gold saber or you will have a bunch of sinkers
thats why you see the brass for 20 a m

blpenn66502,
Thanks for info. I'll just pass on purchasing the 49th manual.
But, I understand the 4th Casting Manual has some Lee boolits in it. Thought they might have included the Sig?

shotman,
You sir, did not use enough powder!

I just checked the Lyman 49th reloading manual, the Lyman #4 cast bullet manual, and the new Hornady 8th edition reloading manual, and there is no lead bullet information in any of them, and it is completely left out of the Lyman #4 manual altogether as a previous poster mentioned.

Lee's latest manual, and Accurate Arms have data for lead in a .357 sig. The AA data is more up to date. They changed the 122gr data, that's listed in the lee manual as well, to 124gr.
Plus here's what I've done so far, myself....
