The .357 SIG caliber was never intended to match the .357 Mag across the board. It was designed to approximately duplicate what many consider the most effective anti-personnel .357 Mag load- the 125-grain JHP.

There's a little room for bullet weight variations in the SIG caliber, but nothing like the Mag.
