Remember that bullet shape is very important in the .357 SIG. Because of the short neck, when seated to the correct depth for proper functioning many bullets intended for the 9mm actually have the beginning of the ogive inside the case mouth, which is not what you want. Be sure to get bullets intended for the .357, which will have a shorter ogive (more of a truncated cone configuration) and therefore a longer bearing surface.
