Uriah, SASS # 53822 Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 I thought I’d deprimer them and offer them up for sale. The primer pockets flash hole are a bit tight. It cost me a decapping pin in only the first 10 rounds (RCBS universal decapper). Is there a small size decapping pin for the resizing die? Thanks, Uriah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rip Snorter Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 Never had that problem, Dillon 550. How is your shell holder fit? I've had some situations (not the SIG) where I had to slow down and go by feel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Widder, SASS #59054 Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 (edited) I shoot and reload for the .357 SIG, BUT..... I don't need any more brass. I got a ton of it. But I do confirm the small flash hole problem with about 30% of my brass and I also broke a decapping pin early on in reloading for it. I now drill open all my flash hole to the appropriate diameter and everything works great. As for the smaller decapping pin, I faintly recall polishing down a new pin to work with those SMALL flash holes, and then drill them open just a tad. You only have to polish down the lower section of the pin that pushes thru the flash hole. ..........Widder Edited August 17 by Widder, SASS #59054 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to GOOGLE to find out but apparently it stands for Swiss Industrial Company..... BUT in German, the actual letters are SIG. Don't ask me to spell those German words cause I can't. ..........Widder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't want to know the number of people I've seen who brought a box of 357 SIG ammo to the cash register intended for their 357 magnum revolver. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Sackett Posted August 18 Share Posted August 18 RCBS makes two different sizes of decamping pins. They may interchange in the newer headed style, but the old dies with a straight decap pin were made in two sizes of pin holder. They also make two sizes of the universal decal dies. One small and one large….. Good Luck! Sam Sackett Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Three Foot Johnson Posted August 18 Share Posted August 18 I've got a full size S&W M&P .40 with spare 9mm and .357 SIG barrels I bought a dozen years ago. The only .357 SIG I've ever owned, and I can't remember the last time I shot it with ANY of the barrels. I doubt it's had much more than a hundred rounds combined through it. Maybe not even a hundred. It really needs to go. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've shot it in IDPA competition with the 357 SIG barrel in place a few times. Can't remember the last time I carried the gun with either barrel in place.

Widder, SASS #59054 Posted August 18 Share Posted August 18 (edited) I'll probably be criticized for this, but that's O.K. because it goes against the more common instructions on reloading the .357 SIG I keep attention on the OAL of the brass, BUT...... I headspace on the shoulder. Common teaching says to headspace on the neck (case mouth) but I have found better results and reliability with the headspace on the shoulder. I shoot my reloads in two different pistols: SIG P320 and the SIG P229 Legion. ..........Widder Edited August 18 by Widder, SASS #59054 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
