I have managed to find about 300 rounds of 357 Maximum. One hundred of brand new Winchester, which I think will stay in reserve for if I ever find a 357 maximum I can afford, and 200 Remington, 100 new and 100 used. I've been annealing the used brass and running it through a 6mmx222 bullet seating die for the initial sizing, then finishing with a 222 Remington sizing die. It has worked pretty well. I have only had to anneal once to get through the sizing steps. I haven't loaded any of them yet and will probably anneal them again prior to loading.

I've been doing my first attempts with the used brass to get my technique perfected prior to jumping into the new brass.

Never tried the 8208 before but will give it a run. It might pay to try it in my 6mmx222 as well.


Chronographs, bore scopes and pattern boards have broke a lot of hearts.
