Nope ... the Sig won't actually duplicate the magnum.
It does, however, start offering some magnum territory to the service auto pistol.

The 327 Fed Mag is suppose to come close to 357 Mag also. I can crank a 115 gr bullet at very high velocities out of 2" sbub but it is not a 357 Mag, I consider it more of a 9 MM +P+.

It's all a small fast, big slow space time continuum thing!

How about a 135 gr JHP in a 40 SW!

Looking at Hodgdon and Speer, Hornady data one can crank a 40 SW at the same velocity as a 357 Sig give or take. I do not see much difference. If indeed the Sig has less recoil that would be a benefit for sure. Guess that is why I never messed with it and have to deal with yet another caliber.
