I've wanted a .357 Max for about as long as they have been around I guess. Think I first heard of this cartridge somewhere in the late eighties and it went on my list of things to have when I got old and rich. Well I never got rich but old is in sight and now I am rethinking. Should I get a bonfide .357 Maximum rifle barrel or just get a .357 Magnum and load it hot? I don't really need to kill anything, maybe a distant price of steel gets unruly and needs pinged on occasion.

I do appreciate accuracy. Would a large, slow chamber-full of powder launch big .357 slugs any more precisely than a shorter, crisper loading?

All comments welcome.
