Can 357 Sig be reloaded with lead bullets?
The loading manual I have "Lyman-Pistol & Revolver Third Edition" only recommends jacketed bullets. It says "Unfortunately, the short neck of the 357 SIG proved unsuitable for use with any of Lyman's cast bullets".
I thought I would buy some lead bullets to reduce my cost for practice ammo.
The bullets I am considering are these < http://www.friendswoodbullet.com/9mm_147grain_FP/p132676_306871.aspx >. I will shoot 147 grain HP/XTP's when in the field.
I did some searching on line but all I could find were refferences to 9mm.
Has anyone tried this?
Thanks!
James
