I've been reloading for more years than I care to think about BUT,I've never reloaded the 357 sig.I wont to start out with a good SOFT target load and here is my question.Handloads.com says a 9 mil. loaded with 115 ranier bullets with 5 gr. of bullseye will do 1180 fps.NOW If I load this same powder and bullet in a 357 sig.(asuming there is more space in the brass)Will it be slower or faster and is it safe?I think slower but what about pressure ect.?
Thanks! I know this is a mouth full.
