what dies do you prefer for the .357 sig?  Why do you like it?

Don't load 357 anymore. But when I did used RCBS dies. I have always used RCBS dies for all of my reloading as they are a fine product and have never had any problems with them :D

I use the Redding dies with an extra Redding taper crimp die set up in my dillon. To prevent bullet slip (in the .357 sig)the dies have to be tight, and i"ve allways had the best performance with Redding dies. I've loaded 3 brands of brass and 4 different Bullets with no problems, nor do I expect to ever have a problem with the Redding's. Other brands might work just as well as the Redding's but none are better than them, and a bad set comes out of my pocket. When I gamble I really like sure things(LOL).

Another "vote" for RCBS dies and products.  I have 7 different calibers and have never had any problems of any kind with 'em.

In addition, they back up their products... I called (last year) about one question and happen to mention in passing that the expander plug on my .300 Savage resizing die seemed to be pulling too much on the neck of my .300 brass and causing it to lengthen whereupon the informed RCBS representative to whom I was speaking on the phone suggested that RCBS had a new, smoother expander plug and offered to send one of them to me free of charge.

I didn't HAVE to ask.. they offered!!!

Naturally, I accepted it... and it has worked much better than the original expander plug.  You can't beat that kind of product support... and, without a doubt, the "price" is RIGHT!!!

Although most of the dies that I've used over the years have been satisfactory,I'm gradually replacing them with RCBS. They are as good as any,witihin the same price range,and have a great guarentee,also.
I will caution you to be wary of anything made by Lee,and don't get stuck with those friggin'Hornaday dies,like I did.

Have also replaced all my dies the last few years.   They're all Redding now ('cept for the extra Lee Collets for the JDJ's).
