I love the .357 Max. I have a Contender with a 10" .357 Mag barrel that I had rechambered to the Max, and it pushes 180 gr JHP to 1650 f/s. Haven't shot any deer with it yet, but a couple of hogs have expired rapidly when shot with it. Looking to get a Contender/Encore 23" barrel in Max one of these days.

If you ever want to sell the Max... grin
