357 max vs herrett

[jimatcat]

i have both in 10" contenders..... prefer the 357 max, only because cases are easier to reload, both shoot 200gr sierras.... herret is about 200fps faster... and recoils more.....thinking seriously about rebarrelling a shot-out m94 30-30 to the herret....

Because the T/C is built as a hunting/long range pistol,same as the D/W in that cal., the twist rate is 1-14. Which means that it stabilizes the heavier bullets better. The cartridgfe itself, in what I found out, and all my friends that use to shoot it in silhouette, the best accuracy was always close to max loads.
I was helping a friend out many years ago, work up loads for his 10''T/C in that caliber. Gun could very easily shoot 1''-2'' at 100yds, over bags with a scope. But then it started to shoot a pattern, instead of a group. My buddy, had switched primers, and groups opened up to 4''-5''. Let your gun tell you what it likes.
Although I like messing around with wildcat cartridge's, my 2 cents worth, stick with the Max. Carbide dies,no fire forming, and almost the same results down range. Good luck-gypsyman

My 'max is 1-18 twist and it shoots up to 180s real good. Never went heavier and don't plan to hence the slow twist. Remington uses 1-16 for the 35 remington (200gr std weight bullet) and also the Whelen which I don't know if it has a "standard" weight bullet but whatever it is,  it is 200gr+. I believe 1-14 is more than needed for the max but too much is better than too little.
