#3s only have extractors, while #1s have ejector/extractors, correct? Would a no1 in 223/222 etc. rebore to 357 max?

Yes, I'm holding one.
JES told me that he could rebore either one
( .222 or .223 ) to 357 Max !
I sent my Ruger # 1, .222 Rem. to JES to rebore to 357 Max.
Best money that I've ever spent !
A side note........my rifle is extremely accurate with conventional 357 Magnums also.

This is a very mild load, but super accruate out of my rifle.

Old Style . . . 25-20. 38-55, 32-20
Modern
38-55, 357 but best at 357 MAX, or even 357 Herrett
Course you know about opinions.

The Second there to protect the First!
So that #3 EJECTS 357 Max cartridges? If it does I'm in. It was my understanding it does not eject at all.
JES cannot rebore a 30-30 to 357 Herrett. The 30-30 is too long and the shoulder area results in steel being removed that needs to be there for the Herrett. If you overlay to scale paper cut-outs of the cartridges you'll see what I mean. It's a shame really, because 357 Herrett is pretty awesome. 357 Herrett is a re-barreling project not a re-boring one. It's also at home in a lever action that can safely operate to only 30-30 pressure. The 357 max can be run hotter so long as it is in strong platforms (NOT REVOLVERS). In Contenders and rifles like the #3 (which stonger) the max can be pushed to the MAX.
38-55 and 375 Win are both over 1.8" allowable case lenght in Indiana for public land deer hunting (or if the state reverses it current experiment in allowing rifles). 460 S&W is the most potent cartridge basically. It is however way beyond what is needed for deer.
