HSCB
Please do not think I am bad mouthing HSCB. The quality of the product and dimensional integrity in all I have measured appears excellent.
My first response from HSCB and my reply:
I am loading these in 9mm Luger cases for practice use in Sig 228, Browning HP, and Colt Pocket Nine pistols. I am wondering if possibly the listed OAL of 1.155 wasn't meant for a .357 Sig. I would rather fire these for both practice and competition at full charges and hopefully you will respond with some good advise but until then I will shoot them as a reduced load at 1.005 OAL with a reduced 3.2 gr reduced powder charge for practice only. I tried many lengths OAL and am using a Dillon case gauge. The shape of the bullet nose has no bearing on whether or not the case seats properly in the gauge. Your recommended OAL of 1.155 only half covers the lube ring, 1.100 had roughly 3/8" of the case head sticking out of case gauge, 1.050 stuck out about 1/8", 1.025 only had the thickness of the rim above the case gauge but still will not fit my chambers. The bullets are in spec at .356. Maybe that is a problem with the 9mm Luger tapered case design? Please educate me. I think I can attach pictures if necessary. Thanks, Don

Most check gages are made for round nose bullets.
Please check again with a dial caliper.
I checked the OAL for the 9 125 FP it is showing the same.
Thanks Jr,
