Until today, my favorite 357 SIG load was Speer 147 gr GDHP over 11.2 gr AA#9.
Today I tried the Remington 147 gr JHP's that Midway sells in bulk - $66/1000.
They shoot just as good as the Speers, for a lot less cost.
This load chronos 1080 fps average from a 3.9 inch barrel. That is middle ground between min and max according to AA data.
They are relatively mild shooting - for 357 SIG, anyway - and hold a nice tight group very flat-shooting out to 25 yards (maybe more; didn't try them on the rifle range).
They are very clean burning with little muzzle flash. It is a compressed load, which is probably a good thing in 357 SIG.
Bullet choice being tricky for 357 SIG, given the need for a shorter profile, thought I would share this.
