just found this forum(I'm getting old,grey ,slow, OK?)I realize this is a year old but was wondering if the 357 max. reamer rental worked out and was still available.I read the whole forum and sounds like the perfect rifle for Arkansas mountain hunting and I love building different guns,my current projects are a double rifle in 45-70, almost done,405 grains at 1700 fps, 3 inches at 100 yds so far, also working on a trapdoor with Shilen barrel for 300 grainers around 1800 fps,not near done,just fun guns.anyway, this 357 max. looks great to me. thanks guys, oldmanrallee
