I just read Terry Wieland's article on this gun in the latest Handloader (#350). It uses 7-shot moon clips. Headspaces on the mouth of the cartridge case. It uses the big X frame like the .500 and .460 mag.
Is this going to be another rare gun, like the .22 Jet? Because it does not work very well?
Terry is not happy with it.
"You will wantonly strike a hornet's nest which extends from mountains to ocean, and legions, now quiet, will swarm out and sting us to death. It is unnecessary; it puts us in the wrong; it is fatal." Robert Toombs, Democrat of Georgia, warning of the results of the imminent attack of the Confederacy upon Fort Sumter in Charleston Harbor, 1861
Ain't gonna lie, it sounds silly and I'd take a long gun or a .44 magnum before I screwed around with that.
I have not read the article, but I don't forsee them becoming common.

Plan on it being available for only 2 or so years!
Old enough to know better, young enough to do it anyway!

I was kind of interested in one until reading about how it’s only marginally more powerful than a .44 Mag. The 350 Legend losses its luster out of a shorter barrel.Originally Posted by Frosty Boolit
Main thing I don’t like is the price tag. Next is factory rounds use 0.355” bullets instead of 0.357”
Weren’t the maximum revolvers discontinued because of all the commotion about top strap cutting? Isn’t this cartridge longer and hold a little more of the same powder? How is it okay now but not back then?
Headspaces on the case mouth. Don’t revolvers usually get a roll crimp to prevent bullet pulling from recoil? 30 Carbine works, but it’s a little less recoil.
I’ll wait for the 360 Buckhammer revolvers to come out. They got the bullet diameter correct and have a proper rim.
