| In my experience you either need to pony up for the Dillon carbide 357sig die set, or else size with both a 40s&w die and then the 357sig die. I opted for the latter as I already had 40s&w dies. Just gotta handle the brass twice as much. As I don't shoot much 357sig, I don't mind.

| I use a Redding "de-bulge" 40S&W die on both cartridges as never know what could accidentally show up in my brass. This is particularly important if the brass came from a less supported barrel (Glock). Maybe you won't have that issue but it's cheap insurance for problem free feeding. I then run the 357 SIG through a Hornady 40S&W carbide sizing die and set aside in marked containers. Other than that everything goes through the progressive press as usual through Hornady dies. I had used Lee dies in the past and they were fine too. As mentioned, I'd stay away from the RCBS 357 SIG dies. I had all sorts of feeding problems with them, and tried some Lee dies as a last resort and they worked fine. Something about RCBS sizing off the mouth vs. eveyone else sizing shoulder or something like that. Also use as little bell on the mouth as possible on the 357 SIG. Bullet set back is a risk with the round.

| Sounds like you’ve got everything going correctly. What bullet and powder did you settle on?
