I posted on that one. How did you dig that up?

On a more serious note - I see on THAT forum there is a little "printable version" logo at the bottom left of the page, and if you click that, you get a version of all 17 pages you can save as one file...
Does Leverguns have anything like that...? I wind up saving multiple pages individually, and it is a real time consumer.

Hmmm, looks like I need to dig through that one...

Re: The Mother of all .357 mag. Rifle Thread.
I have taken notice that there seems to be a decent interest inHobie wrote:I posted on that one. How did you dig that up?
casting /reloading the .357 mag. for use in rifles.
I have been doing some exploration into possibly starting a dedicated
forum regarding this topic.
Thoughts please.

Re: The Mother of all .357 mag. Rifle Thread.
As much as I like the .357 in a rifle, that's an awfully narrow focus. As a sub-forum it might work, but I think it would die pretty quickly or devolve into somthing totally non-.357...
Good thought though.

I have the same concern; it would indeed be a narrow subject.Old Ironsights wrote:As much as I like the .357 in a rifle, that's an awfully narrow focus. As a sub-forum it might work, but I think it would die pretty quickly or devolve into somthing totally non-.357...

But it could bloom into something fun and interesting as others
Have.
I may very well start it out in a free group format, such as is found on
www. multiply.com or www. yuku.com.
Still in the research & planning stage's.

Re: The Mother of all .357 mag. Rifle Thread.
Maybe a pistol caliber forum to cover more bases?

Re: The Mother of all .357 mag. Rifle Thread.
I've been thinking about sending one of my Handi Rifles back in and having a .357 Mag barrel put on it. If I do I think I'll also ream the barrel to .357 Max.
A 180 grain cast out of that should zip right along.

You can shoot Mags out of the Max right? Kind of like shooting Specials in a Mag?

Re: The Mother of all .357 mag. Rifle Thread.
Yep you can shoot mag's and .38 Spcls as well.
I'm thinking that with a Max and 180 grains you should be able to top 2400 FPS.

Re: The Mother of all .357 mag. Rifle Thread.
I think 2200-2300 fps or so is about max for the MAX with the 180s. One can also use the .38 Colt and Short Colt cases. 2.5 gr. Bullseye under a 200 gr. cast in a .38 Special case "bloops" from a rifle barrel but shoots pretty well out to 50 yards. Great fun.

Re: The Mother of all .357 mag. Rifle Thread.
Well my Rossi 92 is just about my favorite firearm. .357 has long been my favorite caliber. I have more firearms chambered for it then any other. Including the semi-auto Coonan. I went and copied that web pages to a Word document so I can read it offline when I have time.
