Stan TrozniWhatzit did a piece on the B&D in a TC not long ago. To me, and that platform, a .357 Max makes more sense. My notion about the Ruger pre-dates the 77/357 and regular .357 ballistics are sufficient for me now.
Somewhere I have an article, ( circa 1987) about using saboted .357 bullets in .44s, a .357 B&D on the cheap, but I doubt that outfit is still around.
Your .256 idea is still the best, as that ballistic niche is sorta empty these days and has a lot of practical application. Go for it; I love watching other loonies spend money.
