I can tell you that my G2 Max barrel from MGM shoots all kinds of .357 cal bullets very well, from .38 Spl wadcutters at subsonic speeds to 200 gr. .358 Win bullets. They kind of specialize in the Max. If you already have a G2 or an Encore, that would be the way to go, IMO.
I do not have either yet. I will probably buy a SS pro hunter frame kit, have the trigger done and order a barrel from MGM . I have always wanted a 357 max
