I dunno what to get for this peak. All this was from 10-11 hour days 5x a week last year.

I regret not stocking up on 40 cal bullets a while back. Can't find any anywhere. I did manage to pick up some plated 125 gr 357 hollow points. Never seen stores so picked over.

They did have a good supply of 357 Sig ammo...

I still wouldn't want a 357 Sig. Good round but not worth the extra hassles and expense. And reloading straight wall pistol cartridges is at least 10 times easier.

Nothing to see here.... Move along.
Trading it all off about a decade ago was one of the best movies.

I need to devise some sort of die to push all those 147 gr .360 rejects through to make them .357.

Swagging die?

Yes. I only need to take off 3 thousandths.

Maybe not even that much. .357 is only nominally .357 but with tolerances it is probably more like .357 to .358

Funny story about these oversize 9mm rejects. My father acquired them from a guy who had a whole 55 gallon drum of them.
The whole thing fell off his clapped out half ton(!) Ford onto I 5. Strangley this incident did not make the news. What a mess.
Can you imagine how much a drum of those would weigh?

My Speer book describes them all as .357

Lead bullets are often .358 but they easily swag down in the barrel. You could probably shoot .360 if you reduce the loads a bit.

This is pretty cool. You can keep a gun hidden near your front door.

A guy traded me some 9mm reloads as part of some motorcycle engine work. I then tried to use those for my CHL qual. in a SDVE. The gun jammed first shot. Took a gunsmith to remove the round. So, I've been told-never depend(your life) on anything but factory new ammo. Thoughts and opinions. Yes, I know the factories may not always be there...

Reloads are great for practice but you shouldn't rely on them for personal defense. Besides reliability issues (not a problem if the reloader knows what he's doing) there are legal and liability issues if you ever need to shoot someone with them.
