Anyone have the newest edition of G&A? New straightwall cartridge based on 30/30 case blown out, most of the taper removed and using a .358 bullet. Case length is .195 longer than 357 Max.

Interesting. Do you know what bullet weight range it offers?
12F, McGowen 6.5x284 1-8" twist, Nightforce 12-42x BR<br />BVSS, McGowen barrel, 22-250 1-9" twist, Nikon 6-18x<br />16 FHLSS Weather Warrior, Sinarms 257 Roberts, Pentax 3-9<br />Stevens 200, 223 bone-factory-stock, Nikon 3-9x<br />Scratch-built BVSS, LW 243 1-8" twist, Viper 6.5-20x50 mil-dot
Kinda looks like a .357herrett that got stuck in a taffy puller
Just realized, this should meet "straight wall cartridge" requirements imposed in some states, and in some ways makes more sense than the .355 bullet specs used in the .350 legend.
The 35 /30-30 has been around for a long time. States will probably approve it for straight wall where they would never consider a 35 Bullberry.
I agree about the .355’s. Its interesting in some ways. .358 bullet selections may increase for the Max. A 30/30 based cartridge makes sense. Lever gun popularity seems to be on the increase.Originally Posted by FyrepowrX
38/55 in .355?
No, I do not. I saw this posted elsewhere today. The article is in Guns & Ammo, and I let my subscription end a couple months ago, so I haven’t seen all of the info.
