This will be my "Go-To" video for the 357 Sig. I've tried loading it over the years many times and had nothing but trouble. At current ammo prices I can't afford to buy it anymore, though I love the cartridge. Thanks!
Thank you. As I said, I stole that from the GavinTube guy. He is a great source for reloading info and has a great youtube channel. I understand youtube has been giving him a hard time lately because they are anti-gun. I ordered the track, and a router bit and cut the slots out. It was the best thing I have done for my reloading system. I did that about 2 years ago so far its been perfect. Makes a small bench do a lot more.
@@fillupread I mount my presses on similar plywood bases but use large "C" clamps to hold 'em fast...that way I can shift them anywhere if needed - so far I've never needed to do so - but that's my way...
Thank you for your info! I just got my Sig P229 licensed & are getting everything ready to load up on my Lee single stage press. I am lucky enough to have ordered the carbide die set but I wasn't too sure on the crimping until I watched this video. Will also be getting myself a vernier & check my OAL etc based on your video
.357 Sig is a simple reload for me: 1. Clean cases in tumbler 2. Lube cases with Imperial wax 3. Size using Dillon carbide die in single stage press 4. Wash cases in hot water with Dawn liquid, dry in oven at 225 F, this removes case lube 5. Finish the loading process using my Dillon 550.
That depends on a few things. I toss them when I find a problem case. After sizing I always spin the brass on a finger to feel the case mouth and if I feel anything odd, I toss it. I have not had any other issues.

Good video! I learned mostly on my own too and use similar dies to get the results with good neck tension & collet crimp
For resizing my 7.62x25 i do something similar. Its a 9mm case sized down to 7.62. The lee dies for 7.62 dont get them sized correctly.
Yea I don’t blame you I have a Dillon 550C and they want 235.00 bucks for a set I ordered a 3 die set from Hornady and my rbcs turret press

You must live in southern Florida if you know Southern Bell I just got a barrel for my 40 and got the barrel conversion to 357 sig
Always nice to hear what city and state you're in the accents are cool we're here in Los Angeles California watching your 357 sig video
10mm uses a large pistol primer, lower case wall is thicker. I would not try it
Get the Wilson headspace gauge to be more precise, the 10mm necked to .355 is actually called 9x25 Dillon.
I have a 9x25 Dillon I made out of a Glock...lol they ain't no joke. People ask me what it is and I call it a 357 SIG MAG, lol
Great video. I love shooting .357 sig, but cost/availability is the killer.. if I do decide to reload it, I will use this as a reference.
.357 Sig is a simple reload for me:
1. Clean cases in tumbler
2. Lube cases with Imperial wax
3. Size using Dillon carbide die in single stage press
4. Wash cases in hot water with Dawn liquid, dry in oven at 225 F, this removes case lube
5. Finish the loading process using my Dillon 550.
Oh, how many reloads can on case withstand before you chunk them?
