As I said..."these are ROUGH estimates". They could be high or low depending on if the data is calculated or actual water weighed. Every brand has a different wall thicknesses and inside dimensions and therefore different CC's.
I looked at that one also several times also...the 444M case is 0.225" shorter than the 30-06 case so how can it have almost the same CC as the '06?? But, in fact you can use it in place of an '06 case or vis versa just as you can with the 356/358 win case. I checked that data against 3 other data bases I have, including all the necked down versions and the CC was "ROUGHLY" 64 to 68 gr H20...Load from a Disk was just a bit optimistic in this case or calculated probably.
This information was just to be used as a rough estimate of a few of the different 35 cal wildcats that could be chambered in the NEF, not something cast in stone. There are WAY to many variables involved to take one number as gospel.
The only way to be sure of the case capacity is to H20 weigh the actual fired in the chamber you will use WITH the brand of brass you will use...THEN you will know to a certainty just what the CC is in THAT rig.
As I continually say...DON'T BELIEVE A WORD YOU READ ON THE INTERNET WITHOUT CHECKING THE SOURCE AND THE VERACITY OF THE INFORMATION. I don't know where some of this stuff comes from for certain either, but I do understand the why's and wherefore's of the actions. We all do it at times...hear a good story, embellish it a bit, then pass it on. Hunters and fishermen are well known for "the one that got away" stories....
Hahahahahahaha. Hey...ask me how I know.
Yeah, yeah, yeah...been there done that... when the 357 Maximum first came out it was considered the best thing since sliced bread
...but that's all it is, a magnumized Magnum and it played hob with the backstraps on the wheel guns.
It did well on the steels but wasn't a 100% caliber all the time. Every DW 357 Max I've picked up at gun shows has this cutting, some worse than others and they want your arm and leg AND first born as payment.
The 357 Herrett is 10 gr H2O larger thanh the 357 Max and works very well in the T/C Contender, I never had one...jumped over that one to the 35 Rem, but knew several who had one and shot many a round helping to work up loads. It's another "tweener"...right in between the 357 Max and the 35 Rem, but nothing wrong at all with it...it will put down a deer or antelope with authority as long as you are fairly close.
Both the 357 Max and the 357 Herrett are very easy, simple and quick conversions for the Handi...but the 35 Rem or 356/358 W are just about optimum, I think FWIW, all things considered, for woods game and the 35 Whelen for the larger game, unless you can handle the recoil of the larger calibers...
Come to think of it, just about all the conversions are simple, quick and easy. I should have included ALL the different conversions CC's in the list, looks like.
Please no hoohaa's...it's just my considered opinion, nothing more...I like the larger calibers and heavier bullets. After a half cenury of shooting the biggies seem to put things down quicker, with less meat loss and a much bigger "fluid removal orifice". I keep anything below 338 cal for sage rats...
Pick what YOU want and enjoy it...doesn't matter what others think.
What I wish is Handi had a 9.3 or actual .375 cal barrel...THEN you coud get some really GOOD wildcats and standards going. My 9.3x62 with 320 Woodleighs or 375 H&H with 300 gr anythings will stop a charging sage rat in it's tracks and flip it on it's back....hahahahahahah
Luck
