How much does it cost to reload for the calibre? .357sig uses 9mm bullets right?

what about brass; how much does it go for? Is .357's bottleneck brass less durable than say 9mm or .40 brass (I don’t reload any rifle rounds :redface: )?

Would it be less or more expensive to load than .40S&W? I mean .40/10mm bullets are more costly but brass is reusable...
 
Brass is a little more expensive but a LOT more rare. It takes .355 bullets, just like the 9mm.

Bottleneck case means you need to use case lube when resizing; not the end of the world but another step in the process.

Guys online seem to have no trouble hitting factory velocities, but be careful--as loaded by the factory it's riiiiight about at max pressure. This isn't a round you need to 'push' to get full potential out of it--you're just trying to meet but not exceed factory pressures and velocities.

What pistol are you planning to get? This round has always interested me. It's not the most practical, but it's a cool idea and probably fun to shoot.
 
AA #9 with a 124 JHP (Montana Gold of Course) but I'm trying to work the load up a little as the gun is comped.. trying to get my hands on some small rifle primers... to see if I can up it a bit...

Don't know how many reloads you get out of 9mm or 40 .. I throw 40 away after 4-10 reloads since it can get dicey.. 9mm I can get 15-20 reloads..

I've not cycled the brass yet.. I get 12-15 or so reloads out of a 400 Corbon more is they are not so hot.. the Gun shoots better hot...

I figure the higher pressures on the Sig will bring it down to 10 or reloads... we'll see...

But I'm hard on Brass shoot em hot and don't clean them right away...
