Question for the Wise Apples...
I've seen this mentioned frequently among .357 Sig shooters on a number of forums. All auto cartridges will set back, if cycled into the feed ramp enough times, but I suspect there are several factors that make the Sig more susceptible to it. Extra-healthy recoil springs are one and I think the other is that the .40 size case head is simply better supported by the breech-face, and requires more force to tip the cartridge up into the chamber.
Regardless of the caliber, it's a good idea to discard any round that has become visibly shortened. Beyond any potential pressure issues, you know the crimp is failing, Chuck it in the pond and eliminate the problem before it gets worse.
