An under rated cartridge in my view.
And in my experience, (I’ve owned four #1s) a rifle that is not very accurate.
As others have said, the least expensive alternative is ream out an existing 357 mag.
I owned a 270, needed floating...did around 1-1.5 MOA, another 1B in 25-06 shot 3/4" w/factory 117 or 120s, WW ammo
Another 6.5x55 K1A in 6.5x55, OUT the box, no mods just like the 25/06, it shot 1.1" at 200, yes 200 yds.
A 1A in 243, it shot 3/8" at 100, first shots on paper........
A RSI in 243, shot 5/8" - all out the box stock, except the 270 above.
Now that 1A was bought to make a custom, and I had Pac-Nor put a V contour 24" 8 twist tube in 6BR, it shot UNDER 1/2" - at 330 yds
Yes, some I guess are more accurate than others..........so 1 shot over MOA, other others under, and one shot less the Point 2 as in .2 MOA....
The 357 in a rifle, shot 2050 for me with 158s, the Max is likely best with 180s in standard bullets.......it should SING and ZING....Good round.
I had one max, a 12" Hunter...ported in a Contender.......it shot fine, was VERY loud.........
