PTG might, they may have a Canadian retailer too.

there IS a Canadian dealer for PTG, but try to find a 357Max reamer is like finding hen's teeth.

he didn't have one last time I checked, and later informed me that he doubted PTG would be making any more runs of them.  So they'd be a custom order.

I'll check again tho, as it has piqued my interest again.

I was playing around today with some calculators

with the twist rate of a Handi set to 18.75", a 250gr bullet will stabilize all the way down below 670fps depending on Pressure/Temp.

I recently got my hands on 1k .358 245grs bullets.  cast fairly hard, but have a flat point.

I'm going to play with these as per the OP in my 357's, IF it ever warms up!

Current and recent production 357mag barrels are 1:15½", both of mine are 15½" which are 6-10yrs old, I've yet to see anyone post about a confirmed 18¾" twist barrel.

my .357 barrel was produced in 2012 or 2011 cant remember. i has stabilized bullets up to 220 grain. one member sent me some bullets he shoots out of a .35 Wimp. i loaded them fairly slow in the max and they shot great out to 50 yards.

thanks Quick

probably safe to assume mine are 1/15.5's as they are newer.

regardless... faster = better for my loadings.

Yup!!
