[QUOTE="NightShade, post: 2944455, member: 29706"] I know when the ammo scare happened the only thing on the shelf was 357 sig quite a few times. From reading a bit the biggest thing I saw as an issue for reloading is that people want to resize 40 rounds and reload them. The neck already being short doesn't leave much meat to hold the round and a lot of setback happens way to easily when trying to be real cheap about it. It would be better to use a 10MM case to reload but it would need to be cut down and would then use large primers.... plus with the cost of 10MM brass you could probably trade 1 10MM case and get two 357sig. But yes from what I gather it's a lot easier to just get a 40 and then grab factory barrels if you want a single platform for multiple rounds. I could have bought the fancy conversion barrels but I paid about 85.00 for each factory one through midway and with all things being equal 85<140+ for the word conversion... Maybe could have found on gunbroker but I worry about a ton of fly by night operations on there with little recourse to get a refund. I generally just wait and stick with a place I trust or pay a couple dollars more than risk ending up with nothing or junk. [/QUOTE]
