Wondering why Ruger chambered several pistol cartridges in recent 20” barreled No.1 rifles, and didn’t include the 357 Magnum (or Maximum?). The run of California Highway Patrol 357’s have been sought after unless I’m mistaken and high prices reflect that.
They made these and maybe I’m missing some?:

44 Rem Mag
460 S&W
475 Linebaugh,
.... but no 357’s?!

I have a 44 and a 475. I briefly thought about buying a 444 Marlin reamer as I handled the 44..... but wisely backed off that idea. The 444 would be cool in a 22”+ heavier barrel No.1, don’t you think?
