I think a #1 in Max would be neat....long throated/Bellm chambered. The 357 max might be the most efficient overall cartridge I’ve ever messed with. Easily surpasses factory 35 rem in single shots. Low recoil, low blast, all sorts of bullet options. I love the max. I just don’t get to spend as much time loading for or shooting my Bellm Encore as much anymore. I’ve got so much Max loading stuff and loaded (factory and home rolled) rounds stashed, I could probably shoot it all I had time to, for years. I’ve even pondered parting with it all, since I don’t use it as much the last several years....but it’s just so much effectiveness in a 16”, compact, light package that it’s hard to part with.....what’s not to like about 180gr 35s past 2400 from a 16” single shot?
