I love the 357 SIG. I have eight guns in that caliber. I got some bad news for the 357 SIg today. I tried the Nosler 135 JHP and Longshot powder. The chronograph is a Model 35P and it does not lie. This blew me away:
P229 40 S&W
Fed. Cases
Fed pr.
15 shots
hi 1506
lo 1453
avg 1482
sd 19
es 53
energy 658
Temp 65
even the P239 hit 1444 with a 135 JHP. That is faster than either gun will push a 125 in the 357 SIG.
I have a 5 inch Bar-Sto for a P229 and it hit 1567 with the 135 JHP for an avg of 10 shots.
It just blows me away I tell you. Longshot powder does it without real high pressure on top of all that.
Long shot gave what Hodgdon said it would to and sometimes more. I might try it in the 357 SIG. The velocity is listed as more with the 40 that is is for the 357 SIG. I though B.S to boy was I wrong.
Get you bullets from www.sportsworldtulsa.com they have the best price of any. Rainier works great. I have pushed them to 1535 in a 5 inch 357 Bar-Sto barrel.
Thanks,Keith
