I don't know if this was done or not but maybe we can get a list together of all available .357 SIG ammunition. I think it will help out a lot of shooters who say it's too "rare" or the availability "sucks."
Just my .02
Cor-Bon 115 Gr. JHP
Cor-Bon 125 Gr. JHP
Cor-Bon 100 Gr. Pow'r Ball
Speer 125 Gr. GDHP
Federal Premium 125 Gr. JHP
Hornady 124 Gr. XTP/JHP
Hornady 147 Gr. XTP/JHP

about halfway down........... ( soon to be updated )
This is in a sticky up above.

Thanks for the heads up. I hate reading!!!
If you could please tell me about the DT ammunition line. How good is it? Any noted failures? Any "KB" reports? I would like to try some out but I am a little nervous. Maybe it's that whole "the factory stuff in the big names are there so why change?" I have been tossing it up ever since I've heard of DT.

I have shot countless rounds of DT through my G33 with no problems whatsoever. IMO it is one of the best quality ammunitions on the market today. Mike truly does care about the product he sells and will answer any and all of your questions and concerns with a simple phone call. I wonder what would happen if you tried to talk to the CEO/President of Winchester for ammunition concerns. ;) PGH~
I haven't checked out DT yet,but I will.Being a relative newby to this caliber,I think the best deal going right now and especially for those on the West Coast,is Ammoman.com: http://www.ammoman.com/index.htm My (somewhat)local ammo supplier(www.outdoormarksman.com) has S&B FMJ for about the same price shipped.An added bonus is that I practice with what I carry...Pumpkins are SOOO much more fun with JHP...;f

I don't really care for S&B 357sig ammunition, mainly because I get 1 or 2 hard primers per box but also its not the cleanest stuff out there. For the range I use Speer Lawman RHT cleanfire frangible, not only because its recommended for range use, but also its very clean and I get it locally for $9 per 50 and price breaks starting at 500rnds. For carry DT 125gr. Gold Dots....in fact its on my hip right now because I am at the shop.

I think I'll take the plunge and order some at the end of the month. I've had an account there forever and have been rolling it around for a long time on buying some. Any more info would be great. Just your thoughts. Thanks!
SigShooter,I don't know if I'm the one you need more info from or not,but the AmmoMan link I posted is for 1000rds of Speer Factory Gold Dot 125gr JHP for $229 shipped.Living in Oregon,that's a killer price if you factor in shipping...

krikcdl,
thanks for the heads up. I went to their site and saw the prices. That is a great deal. I've heard some hokey stuff about their products. But of course you know what opinions are like. I'm going to drop a couple of bucks and order some DT. I still have my reservations. But the only way I'll find out is if I use it.
