357 Max question
« on: November 10, 2011, 03:39:15 PM »
I'm considering  having a carbine bbl made in 357 Max.  Will it also chamber and safely shoot 357 Mag loads?

Yes, and 38 specials too but chamber needs to be cleaned after shooting the shorter shells to prevent buildup in chamber that can cause problems. Good luck hope this helps.

ALL of mine do, all shoot it quite well, one even shoots 38 specails well too!!  ALL shoot 38's with enough accuracy for minute of beer can and are great teaching tools for chillins!
