Just a couple of considerations regarding .357 Max brass.

It is not always readily available and the quality of the batches I have is marginal at best.

I have a .221 FB rimless chambered Contender and two .204 Rugers, none of which have ever given me a problem being rimless. As both the .221/.357 max and the .221 FB headspace on the shoulder in a Contender it is doubtful you could prove one design more accurate than the other. I heard it...but I don't believe it.

Greetings all,

Anybody do any work with this cartridge utilizing 357 Max brass necked down and sized in a 221 FB Die?

Looking to try something like this in a Contender pistol.

Thanks for any info.

Regards, Ray

If you are interested I have a 16 1/2 " Bullberry .221 fireball barrel I am looking to get rid of. You can shoot it like it is or have David (assassin) cut a rim in the chamber and size .357 max brass down. You would actually be able to shoot both cases once the rim is cut. Make you a reasonable deal on the barrel too.
