Midway has Grizzly 357 Max 200 grn lead in stock kinda pricey, 30.00 for 20! I did order a box to try them out.

I shot some of that a few years ago. That was before I had my rifle throated and it still shot well. Let us know your results.

Thanks, Dinny

Several months ago I found 5 boxes of Remington 357 Max. in a local gun shop but he was too proud of them.  $40 A BOX :o :o
Needless to say, I left them there.

That reminds me.... I found 4-6 boxes of old Rem ammo in Colorado Springs a few weeks ago. Seems they were asking $23 per box. That's not too bad, but not worth me driving back from OK for. :-\

Thanks, Dinny

Going through my "arsenal supplies" and found 8 boxes of Remington 55 grainers! Got to get out and do some shooting.

ok, so i recieved my box of 20 rounds from grizzly via midway.  i can see a bulge ring in the cases where it is expanded to fit the 200 grain bullets! is this normal with these big lead bullets? i have to get home to try and chamber one to see if its a problem, or just looks funny. none of the other ammo i have loaded looks like this. should i complain? bought it mostly for the brass!

Visable bulge rings are normal.  I can see exactly where the 265 grain .444 bullets are seated in the cases.  If that bullet was sliding in without expanding the case some, it wouldn't hold it tight enough.

You guys need to watch Craigslist.
The last batch I bought:


357 rem maximum brass, unprimed in factory boxes, 400 rds total, have 60 factory loads too.  $75.00

His count was a little sloppy, but I didn't complain. Two 50 rd boxes were Federal nickle. Almost all of it was never fired. 
Cudatruck can verify: it was old stuff. The 20 round brass boxes had sale prices on them for $3.49
