I would like to know all the naysayers - have you fired a 357 in a rifle?
Yes, I've owned (and shot) 2 Marlin 1894s, 1 TC Carbine, and a Winchester Highwall which was one of the test platforms when Remington and S&W were developing the .357 magnum cartridge back in the 1920s. (A gun I would buy back if the current owner would give me a decent price on it.)
I think it is only fair to ask you the same question. Have YOU owned, or even merely just fired, a .357 in a rifle?
