[QUOTE="Nraman, post: 1165651, member: 10001"] I was supposed to be reloading for it, unfortunately it is not a priority. I'll tell you what I know as a non expert. The correct bullet diameter is .355 just like the 9mm. That does not mean they are identical; the 357 requires a design with a different ogive to facilitate crimping. A regular 9mm usually doesn't work for that reason. I bought some specifically designed for the 357, made by Speer (not 100% sure about that). The neck is very short and hard to give the bullet enough friction. Loads with Accurate #9 fill up the case and prevent bullet set back. All the above are from memory and should not be used without double checking. The fact that they will be used in a Glock doesn't seem important, I don't see how it would matter. [/QUOTE]
