357 Sig Brass Life...

[ArrowJ]

How many loads are you getting before scrapping your 357 Sig brass?

Generally by the 4th loading I have lost probably 1/2 of the original cases. So I'm at 4 maybe 5 and doing OK.

I also have a nice supply of brass from my old Agency so I'm not shy with adding new cases to the mix.

Thanks. I plan on pushing a 125 g Gold Dot at around 1400-1475 fps. I may cast some boolits for it, but it is looking more and more like I will have to wait another year for casting. As hard as it is to find lead around here I will need a year just to scrounge enough to make it worthwhile.

I truly don't see the .357 SIG as a cast bullet cartridge. I haven't fired a single CB out of any of my three.

I used to have a very sweet deal with a friend near the MT Gold bullet factory here in MT. She used to not only get a bit of a discount, but picked UP for me...so I also got a shipping discount.

Loaded with less than $6 per hundred 125 gr FMJ's for years. Now I think I'm at $8.60 per 100 when I buy a Master case.

Neat round, whats not to like? Basically 4" .357 mag revolver ballistics in an auto pistol.
