Re: 357 Max lever gun
It would be easier to get someone (starline?) to make tougher 357 mag brass (maybe binary case) and load up. I have been pushing the 140 grain xtp's to 2300fps in a 20" barrel using Lil Gun. It has more energy than 300blk/5.56 until you pass 100 yards

Re: .308s in my life.
I love 308. Its my primary rifle caliber for most things.
I am using a Zermatt TL3 with 23" PVA barrel for all my long range shooting. My working load is a 200gr accubond at 2804fps (yes you read that correctly) with Alpha SRP brass. It will shoot 1/2 MOA all day long
