I like help starting to load sig. for the best accuracy load you have . I have 4 inch barrel. I don't care what the grain is. I do alot of reloading an through this would be a good starting point. This should save time an money. I always have so much power an bullets left that i don't seem to us up. THANKS

I don't mean to sound critical but your post doesn't make sense.

AA #9 is said to be very good in .357 Sig by a very knowledgeable reloader here on THR. That would be my powder choice if I started to load .357 Sig.
For bullets you need one with a lot of bearing (full diameter) surface or you will end up with no neck tension when the bullet is seated past full diameter.
The Berrys 124 Gr HP (http://www.berrysmfg.com/product.aspx?i=14476&c=11&pp=8&sb=0&p=0) is one that will work.
This Sierra bullet (http://www.midwayusa.com/viewProduct/?productNumber=742752) is a good choice, and shows the profile I tried to describe.
This Hornady bullet (http://www.midwayusa.com/viewProduct/?productNumber=1165217806) has good reviews for .357 Sig. Again, check out the profile.

I like 124 jhp Montana Gold bullets and Longshot for powder.

This is where, who and how I got my start loading 357sig. I started at 11 grains and laddered my way up to 13gr. 13grains will prevent setback.
I like 124 jhp Montana Gold bullets.
These work great in front of the AA#9. I wanted to order another 1000 but noticed that they have been withdrawn from their website. So I called them. The lady said they withdrew them until they got caught up and would show them once more when they had some to sell. She also said some of the customers got pretty nasty with her over it (They shot the dang messenger :cuss:). I aplogized to her for the actions of those poor degenerates and asked her to not paint the rest of us with the same brush.
The 357sig is a fun, zippy round to shoot! :D

13 gr of AA9 under a Magnus 124 gr FMJ functions flawlessly through my SIG 239 and gives me all the accuracy I need.
