Can .357 magnum ammo be fired in a .357 sig XD? Please, no newb comments, Im aware of it...

No. They are very different rounds.

 

[Joeywhat]

As stated above, no. I doubt you could even get the magnum round to fire in the sig chamber...or vice versa.

In this game, the only stupid question is the one not asked. Better safe than sorry.

+1. Make sure before making a mistake.

this aint' GlockTalk...you can ask questions like that here and not get 20 smart-ass remarks before you get to the answer you were looking for......

No, and here's why.

.357 SIG is a .40 S&W cartridge necked down to fire a .357 Caliber bullet. The resulting ballistics are comparable to .357 magnum, but aside from being MUCH shorter, and unrimmed, the rear of the case is fitted for a .40 caliber bullet.

The .357 magnum is, on the other hand, a straightwalled, rimmed, revolver cartridge, significantly longer and older than the .357 sig.

Does anyone know the avg velocity of a .357 sig from a xd service...Thinking about adding one to the collection, but have no knowledge of the round.

I believe it's about 1400 fps out of a 4 inch barrel with 125 gr. ammo. Smoking fast, that's why I just bought a .357 SIG barrel for my P229. I've also been collecting brass from my local range so I can reload. I believe you can get 1300 fps with 147 gr ammo. Awesome defense round.

I would only like to mention one thing to you about the .357 sig.

Ammo is expensive. It is not a "popular" round, or in demand. So production is limited.

I have a friend that has a Glock .357 sig. And he doesn't shoot it much.

A buddy made the mistake once and bought .38 instead of .380....

It was very obvious that it would now work.

Luckily we had a .357 Mag there that we shot the .38 out of =)

In this case though, I doubt you could even get the round in there to make the mistake.

But please don't try...

Thats what I figured, but I already have a reloading press set up, I would just need to get the dies for the .357...
