Conversion of Pete's 357 SIG Caliber Page to "fit" in the HandGunInfo.com site is not yet complete, but rather than wait for it to be "pretty" it is at least presentable and available. Thank you for your patience.

Hodgdon Universal

Disclaimer: All of the following powder charges were taken from reloading manuals produced by gun powder companies or other reloading manuals that may vary in powder charges greatly. Various components combined, make all the difference in the world. I am not responsible for your actions. Always refer to official reloading manuals when reloading. As usual, I must say that this information is what works for me. Use your own common sense. You are responsible for your own actions!

1.     Universal appears to be a very mild load even at max charges -- very gentle as long as your slide cyles OK.
