Wind a tighter coil, you can use less voltage, but current will go up. The current load is dependent on what you put in the coil. A .223 case will not pull as much current as a 45-70 or WSM case. ...

This annealer stuff's pretty benign, since it's usually 24-36 volts DC input; not much risk IMO. And yes, the work coil is water cooled as well as the high-current electronic components, e.g. the...
It's sort of a homemade "hand tool" and I use it pretty regularly, so here's my induction brass annealer in action. I'll get around to putting it in a snazzy little enclosure one of those days I...

I'm tuned in. Accuracy? Difference in pressure indications? Larger sample size?
Maybe this'll help:

Some of those loads might work in pistols too.

I don't think anyone advocated him using .357 Mag data, and I have no gripe with people stating that. I do take issue with everyone else treating a new forum member like an incompetent or child. ...

Penrosepete, Good for you! I'm glad you've already went and discovered for yourself what some people here never will.

Forum: Cast Boolits
Yes, you can. I suspect you will have issues with feeding a flat/stubby projectile from a magazine in an autoloading pistol. Subsequently, bullet set-back would be a concern depending on load.

Yes.
Chemistry/physics:

For a given load, you can offset/compensate the peak pressure by pushing the bullet back into the case for a shorter overall length...

SOFM's right, it's easy: lube the cases, single pass into a 357Sig FL sizer and you're done.
You do have an already short case neck a little shorter, but you can work around that.

You're right! Maybe it doesn't matter. :D If it does then there are variety of options to work around it.
