I have had two factory Glock 357 Sig barrels....LET ME NOTE HERE; The 357SIG is the only commercial bottleneck cartridge in the history of the world designed to headspace off the front [LOA ] of the cartridge case, NOT off the shoulder.
One with a distinct step for the case mouth to stop on.
The second had no step, was a gradual taper from case mouth to rifling.
I could find NO way to headspace off the case mouth;
The first was difficult to get consistant headspacing without trimming all cases to the same oal.
The shoulders of both barrels were located exactly the same. Die adjustment to the shoulder resulted in consistant cartridge headspace, and ignition, for both barrels.
There seems to be much controversy, with little consensus, regarding 357 Sig headspacing.
My loads have had no problems.
