This is an addendom to my previous thread about the two and using the DW case in the 357 max.
I trimmed a 357 max case to exactly the same length as the DW360 case. I weighed them and the Remington 357 max case weighed 94.6 grains and the Star DW 360 case weighed 82.9 grains. This does allow for more powder but it also means that the 360 case is probably not as strong as the max case. My reloading will have to be done with caution. I'm in the middle of getting some Heart problems taken care of so it might be a while before I get around to doing some testing. I would like to thank those that gave some of their thoughts to my previous thread concerning this.
