I hope everything is going well on your recovery.
Seems like the last few years I've been a repeat offender of those fun recoveries, too. Dang sure screwed up my hunting.
Get well and get after it.
I've always been curious about the .357Sig round.
Looks like it would be a great feeding round.
Do you find you have to trim the brass very often ?
G19 the last couple days here while working outside.
Dub ....
Yes I am doing well after my surgery ....I am back to doing what ever I feel like ....I'm not 100% after losing muscle mass before and during the eight week medical timeout .... Age is hitting me also!!!
I have never trimmed a 357 SIG brass ...it is kinda like the 9mm no need to ..... it has such a short neck ...you don't want to loose any of it ...
Yes it is powerful little cartridge .... it is possible to run a 124 grain bullet at 1500 fps out my 4.5" barrel . ... That is a full load and I mostly run the Hornady 124 grain XTP at about 1425 fps .... the Hornady 147 grain XTP can be pushed to 1300 + fps .... all using the right powder ..... and safely ....
With a extra magazine ... I can bring 31 rounds of .357 Magnum like rounds to the game !!!!
I can swap barrels(and magazines)shoot 9mm ....swap barrels and shoot .40 S&W .... I don't have either the extra barrels yet ...plan to get a 9mm since ammo is cheap ....
I have shot 3000+ rounds without a failure to feed ....the 9 mm bullet goes into the .40 caliber hole pretty easy ...it is basically a .40 S&W necked to 9mm ...
