I am about two weeks away from starting to reload 357SIG. Initially I will use bullets I have in inventory, but then I need to decide what bullets to purchase that will/could be a better fit for 357SIg. I have some 9mm JHP bullets that I received in a PIF from BracketRacer_57 (Thanks again!) and also some X-Treme 124gr CP HP. I have been creating some dummy rounds and it seems they should work for my initial toe in the water loads. I know Montana Gold is one of the preferred bullets for 357SIG loads, and then also the XTP's. These bullets will be fine once everything is going and I have confidence in my load process. But what I am looking for is to find some not that expensive bullets that I can load in 9mm, and also 357SIG.
Does anybody currently load plated bullets for 357SIG that can be recommended. I don't normally load max loads and will probably try and keep the loads around 1300fps (calculated from load data since I don't have a chrono). The bullets does not have to be perfect for 357SIG, but should lend itself to a good neck tension and be rated to around 1500fps.
Thanks in advance for any information you can provide.
