357 Maximum

[Alderman]

Rainy day in Oregon so I loaded up some Maximum rounds just for something to do. No plans for this load other than to punch paper.

357 Max is sure a heavy thumper

It's an extended 357 mag case. Their great in single shot pistols and rifles!

I never understood why they faded away??? Seemed like a good cartridge to me, the few times I shot one.

The Dan Wesson in 357 maximum was a beast! But in an encore or bored out handi rifle they are great

I believe they had trouble with the revolvers burning the top strap and forcing cone with lighter bullets. This helped cause the decline in popularity.
Seems to be one of the favorites in the Thompson Contender.

That's a pretty danged cool cartridge.

Buddy has a 35 Rem in a Contender and man, what a cool pistol. I'd imagine the 357 Max would be fairly close.

A friend of mine also had a .35 Rem Contender while I had a Dan Wesson .357 Max. Man we had a great time with those guns.
I also had a Dan Wesson .445 Supermag & had to make my brass using 30/40 Krag cases. That was before factory .445 brass was available in UK.
Fantastic fun.

I remember reading about the 445 years ago when I was a kid. Very cool cartridge.

Sheesh! Almost half my age! Too much to take today. Think I'll go to church.

I hear Starlingear is making brass now.

I have an Original Contender 357 Max barrel. Love the cartridge. Got the best performance out of the 180 gr Hornady SSP bullet over AA1680.

Jaimeson is making brass for the Maximum now also.
