Necking 40 S&W to .357 Sig

I have a bunch of once fired 40 S&W brass and since I have decided not to reload them I was wondering if anyone necks these down to .357 Sig and if they had any problems? I know the Sig brass isn't that expensive, I'm just looking for something to do with all of this 40 S&W brass.

Thanks
Dennis

I haven't done it, but I do recall reading a warning in my RCBS manual against doing so. They warned that the case would be too short.

If you do decide to give it a try, let us know how it goes. I'm all for verifying!

Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense.

thats about the only sig ammo I use. been doing it for quite awhile with no problems. yes it ends up with a slightly shorter neck, but so what?
