I avoided posting until now because I want a .357 Maximum so much the jealous thoughts prevented me from saying congratulations. But I am better now but still ![]() |

The 357 MAX in a rifle is even better then in a pistol . The rifle you can move the bullet out to touch rifling giving you more room in case for 5 gr more powder . The 180gr bullet below in a Encore rifle with the correct powder will go 2400 fps , that matches a 180gr in 308 winc rifle ..And I have that rifle for sale . ![]() ![]() |

The 357Max in a rifle is fun to shoot and has next to no recoil. I've got one in a Martini Cadet. ![]() |

Glad you sold that Ruger because everytime I saw the pic I wanted it. I already committed to an old M700 Remington from my BIL in 223 so I my gun fund will be a little dry.

I shoot the max in both a Contender pistol and the Ruger. It's a fine, fine cartridge that should be much more popular. So sorry you had to sell your Ruger. My prayers and my heart goes out to you in your battle. |

If you shoot 180 Gr Hornady the have 2 crimp groove . One groove for the revolver and other one is for a single shot which allows more powder and a bunch of FPS . ![]() |

Senior Member Joined: Jan 2013 From: northern wisconsin Posts: 6,001 | It's a 357 Maximum - a cartridge that is about .3" longer than a 357 Mag. Developed as a silhouette cartridge, but no longer loaded, commercially. Ruger and Dan Wesson made a 357 Max revolver for a few years, but survives, today, mainly in the Contender. Remington still makes a run of Max brass, every other year. Here's my basically unfired 357 Max Blackhawk, made in 1984. ![]() |

Senior Member Joined: Jan 2013 From: northern wisconsin Posts: 6,001 | She is at that. My only issue is whether to drill and tap for a scope mount, because these old eyes can't shoot iron the way they used to do, but I hate to do that to such a pristine 357 Max like this. I can find no evidence that it's even been fired.

I just don't have the heart to drill and tap - this gun is just that perfect. I'll just order a new set of eyes or something. | |
