While asking about Primer Cratering on a gunsmithing facebook group.  I was presented with this article about the .357MAX and am constantly learning more and more about this interesting chambering.  I think many on this forum would find this article interesting.  Okay looks like you have to click the link.

they should let them hunt, I have answered, yes – remembering that it was
one of the best parts of my education – *make* them hunters.”

Zebra...I posted this article mainly for the reading and info about the two firearms and the 357 MAX cartridge explained, I was lucky to shoot a Seville two weeks ago.  A fine firearm.

PLEASE BE ADVISED THAT THE LOAD DATA IN THIS ARTICLE IS NOTHING I HAVE TESTED...AND IT SEEMS ABOVE THE PUBLISHED DATA ON THE HODGDON's reloading site.  These loads seem a little hot to me and I would work up to these loads.  

JUST be cautions start low and work your way up.  I would be interested to read what powder, charge and bullet you plan to use.  Be sure to use Small RIFLE primers.

 

Good luck above all be safe.
