I wouldn't reload a .357sig without a cannelure.

I like firing the .357 SIG, and I have been pipe-dreaming about relaoding it. I think a cannelure is a groove around the bullet into which you crimp the case, to hold the bullet more tightly.

The reloading manuals I have read talk about a fair amount of testing to determine bullet seating depth. How does this work with a cannelure? Do you load one round so that it's the right overall length and the bullet is set where you want it, and then calculate where to cut the cannelure from that?

Thanks,

Munir
