I'm in day 97 of my 7 day wait. So, it shouldn't be long till I can bring my newest addition home. Cabelas has two types of ammo in stock now. They have Herters Select and Magtech. For anyone that has shot either of these, do you have a preference? This will be strictly for target and range use.
.357 ammo

I have tons of the Herters Select 158gr .357 and it's been great. No issues.
Any difference in brass? As far as reloading?
BTW it is Magtech Blueline ammo, if that makes a difference.
The description says Herters is aluminum cased, and not reloadable.
Not according to this....

I'd never use that FFL again if I were you. Many (most?) are releasing after 8 days.

Herter's brass cased ammo is made by Fiocchi
Have shot and loaded a great deal of Herter's brass in both 9mm and .45 ACP without any issues. Have not purchased or loaded Herter's in .357, but wouldn't hesitate to do so. Cannot speak to the Magtech ammo at all as I have never run any of this.
I wonder if they change/alternate manufacturers because in the description it says loaded by Sellier & Bellot.
Thanks for the info.
As far as the FFL, this is the second handgun in the pipeline. I just picked up a Mark III that was 102 days before I got the call. I will not be using either FFL again. I have spoken to both about 8 day release and they both had the same answer. I am of the opinion that talk is cheap, I will speak with my wallet. They know my stance and I know theirs. They still would not change their minds, so, the ball is on my court. Besides that, my house goes on the market in two weeks. Hopefully, I will be moved out of the Free(Ha!) state by the fall.

The Herter's does say it's made by Sellier & Bellot - which I love in 9mm. I've shot plenty of Magtech also in 9mm. Both are very good and pretty clean.
I haven't shot either in .357 but I suspect that it's just as good as the 9mm...

I beg everyone's pardon. I didn't look at the "select," which is brass cased. Some of Herters other stuff is aluminum.
I hav shot the Herter's in 9mm and .357. No issue with either.
No big deal Johnny, their website can be confusing depending on how you search for specific ammo.

For range use, why don't you use .38 spl. It's cheaper and still fits in your .357.
