Re: Thinking about getting into reloading
Thanks again fellows 
. I forgot to mention rounding out our handgun caliber lineup is .45 ACP (no wheelguns.) I have plenty of room for a reloading bench, so that's not a problem.

Re: Thinking about getting into reloading
I'm a great customer of SGammo - the nice man in the brown uniform just delivered 500 rounds of Privi in .357 Sig. I usually buy 2,000-3,000 rounds of ammo from them every year.Pawpaw wrote:SG Ammo seems to have good prices, such as Prvi for $18.95/50. I ordered from them once. Their shipping is reasonable and fast.
Exactly, I would not start with .357 Sig. I'll dig into reloading more. Thank you everybody for the suggestions!george wrote:I think it would difficult for a beginner to start with .357 Sig. As you said, that particular cartridge has some peculiarities (high pressure, short neck) that make it more complicated than loading for a .38 Special, for example...

Thinking about getting into reloading
Been considering reloading because I now have two Sig Sauers in .357 Sig and the ammo is relatively expensive and usually not a great selection at my favorite on-line ammo shop (SGammo.)
I've watched a few YouTube videos of reloading and a couple of reloading the necked .357 casing which is apparently more involved. Any ideas/thoughts/recommendations here? Is reloading economically feasible - you can reload for xx the cost of factory ammo? I do try to shoot quite a bit so I buy quite a few rounds - I usually order lots of 250-500. We shoot .380, 9mm, .40S&W, and .357 Sig in handgun ammo. I also shoot a bit of .308 in my Bushmaster.
