How much can I get for my 357 sig ammo?
I have about 5000 rounds of Speer Gold Dot 125 grain hollowpoint in unopened cases. It seems like it is listed as over $1 a round everywhere but sold out, not in stock, no back order. How much should I sell it for?

I was just in a store and they had 38 Special practice ammo for $63.95 a box. They had .308 $50 for 20 round boxes.
MidwayUsa and Natzhes have 357 Sig listed for $50 a box of 50, but it is sold out, no back order.
I don't want to deal with shipping just 50 rounds at a time. That is 100 shipments. I don't have time for that.

Based on original value that would be about 2.5:1 9mm to Sig.rsilvers wrote:I am open to trading it for 9mm or 5.56mm at some ratio to be determined.

I too use it for practice(only I roll my own). I 'm surprised your getting away from that cartridge considering how you are with the performance of things??rsilvers wrote:Yeah, it is huge money. This is defensive carry ammo. Not practice ammo. Though I use it for practice. Though I am trying to cut down on calibers.
I was thinking of an m-855 swap for ya, but eh, it would take a lot of m-855 to meet that price.

All my guns are 9mm (sounds crazy I guess, but I love only having to buy ammo for one caliber lol). All my guns are pistols, besides an MP5. I don't hunt or anything... I just have guns for self defense, sport shooting, and fucking around (fucking around safely )rsilvers wrote:357 Sig is no better than 40 S&W and in some ways it is worse -- such as it is not 'pre expanded.' There is some evidence it is not better than 9mm.
I've always thought .357 sig was cool, because it is higher velocity than 9mm, so it has pretty good penetration.
Penetration would be the only thing .357 sig beats 9mm in... I think (as long as it is not a wimpy load). And penetration is important.
Other than that, I think it's a high-pressure, loud, snappy cartridge that isn't really too appealing to me. Eh, I dunno. I like 9mm.

Isn't the primary claim to fame for .357 Sig "barrier penetration"? When you look at carry distance through barriers with weight retention about the only thing that matches it in depth and % weight retention is .40 S&W 180s
Of course, "barrier penetration" is not (should not be?) a primary concern in SD for ordinary citizens.

I listed it. So someone who makes a $595 bid has a good chance to get it. I will see how this goes before I decide to sell more. If it only sells for $595 I will not even list the others as I can probably never replace them.

The last time I bought 1000 FMJ 125s from Georgia Arms it was $245 ... I shoulda bought 10,000 then I'd have enough to sell and buy one of those expensive ARs
