480 RUGER AND 350 LEGEND GO TO SOUTH AFRICA

[Rifleman97]

Haha sorry I wasn’t meaning to be disrespectful by the Women Children, Small men thing & was afraid it might come across that way, not my intent at all, I’m fine with low recoil, light rifles, I meant easy to carry do a lot of work at closer range for learners & myself but in a cool do anything rifle, if you had read what I wrote I was making a 357 Maximum Rimmless which would be from a cut off 223 case, I should of said the rest it would be in a 358 barrel, not that that matters as long as the throat allows the release of the bullet from the cartridge it would be fine in a .357 barrel, getting a little tighter in a .355/9mm barrel but I suspect still ok if throated correctly ?

Would have tested all this by now but time shoots off at an alarming rate !

If you were to read up on what the .357 Maximum could do hand loaded in a rifle it might be a surprise, the reason I first looked at a Rimmless in a nice little bolt gun, almost a .35 Rem that could use modern pointed bullets, great pity Winchester went way off track .

Sorry to go off the thread so much, apologies !

MIKE BELLM, MR. 357 MAXIMUM

No offense taken! The 357 maximum is a bonkers cool cartridge! I think it's kinda hilarious how it's saami spec is case length 1.605 making it technically illegal to use in some straight wall states by .005 inches. I imagine no officer would measure that precise and it would be fine pretty much everywhere however. I've heard of people loading it in rifles or rifle-like pistols and getting some really impressive speeds out of it!

I will also drop this to stay on topic, as a final note some great animals OP nice shooting
