I have a 357 Max 10 inch barreled Contender. Amazingly Hodgdons lists data giving a 10 inched barreled Max 1700 fps with a 200 grain cast bullet and more than 1800 fps with a jacketed bullet! Talk about efficient! I am going to try to stick with cast this year for all my hunting. Rainy crappy days I will take the AR15 350 out and nice days the Marlin 35 Remington.
