Over all length
I don't reload so I don't have access to any reloading manuals. I was wondering if someone could give me a OAL range for .357Sig? I'm kind of concerned about some possible set back on some ammo I have. Thanks

OAL. I assume you are asking for the overall length of the cartridge.
Overall Length = 28.96 mm (1.140")
Case Length = 21.97 mm (0.865")

If your looking at bullet setback, you need to know the bullet weight and type. Obviously a jhp is shorter then a fmj bullet. Usually, heaver bullets are longer. Bullet material (lead, jacketed, plated) also makes a difference in seating length. examples (all min OAL):
90gr fmj 1.090
115gr lead 1.140
124gr jhp 1.120
130gr copper plated 1.201
147gr xtp 1.140

Thank you. I knew enough to know there would be a range, not just a set number. Once again thanks for the info.
