Not really an option for factory defense loads.Setback isn't a problem at all if you pick a powder that ensures 100% load density. No where for the bullet to set back to, a compressed load has many advantages.
1. In the beginning, lack of extra magazines;Why are you unloading that often?
I haven't reloaded 357sig only 45 acp, 38spl and 357magnum. Maybe I should have so I could have added some crimp to the loads?Setback isn't a problem at all if you pick a powder that ensures 100% load density. No where for the bullet to set back to, a compressed load has many advantages.
Of course it is. My preferred carry load in my 9mm mouse guns is Federal HST 124gr +P. It is a compressed load, the bullet can't set back.Not really an option for factory defense loads.
Crimp won't help with setback, unless you have a cannelure to crimp into. Crimping into the side of the bullet only serves to remove neck tension as the case has more spring to it than the lead/copper under it.I haven't reloaded 357sig only 45 acp, 38spl and 357magnum.

I carried 147 gr federal hydrashoks in my p89 for years, never had a set back. I also had the hydrashoks in my 1911 and px4 storm with no issues. My partner's 1911 held golden sabers and hydrashoks with no setback.Of course it is. My preferred carry load in my 9mm mouse guns is Federal HST 124gr +P.

2. I dry fire practice a lot.
3. I used to unload it when I came home at night after my shift was over.
