None whatsoever: The Max holds less powder, but operates at higher pressure. The net result is performance approaching 35 Remington levels, but still inferior. This is particularly true with the heavier 35 caliber bullets.Just out of curiousity, what do you guys percieve as the advantage of the 357 Maximum over the 35 Remington? I'm not being critical, I just don't understand the reasoning behind doing all that work.
