Now you're talking. I forgot about the mag to max conversion. I would NOT recommend the Handi in 38-55 since they have had a terrible time with bore diameter consistency. I have owned many Handi's, still have 2 in the safe, and the 38-55 was the least accurate, seconded by the 223. The only way to make the Handi 38-55 accurate is with handloaded oversize bullets. Many then had issues with them not feeding into the chamber.
The best results have some from getting a 30-30 Handi, and having it re-bored to 375 Win or 38-55 by JES. He bores them both to 375 Win specs.
But the 357 Max is an excellent idea.
