357 rem max brass for 357 mag shotshells

[farmbif]

does anyone do this, make snake / rat shot shells out of 357 rem max brass for shooting in a 357 mag?

I did, just to say I could. Pretty good payload. I'll look for the thread and link it here.

I suggested that a few times, though I’ve never done it…..my .357’s are pretty much retired.

That’s why I went with 444 Marlin Mag brass for my 460 shot shells, case reaches all the way to the cylinder end! More shot payload and no plastic shot capsule! memtb

For 357 mag, I have used 223 brass cut to cylinder length and a
snap ring to allow extraction

I use the Max cases, they hold 1/3 oz. of nickel plated #9 shot.

I’m going to give this a try for my 38 and 357. Matter of fact, I’ve been considering a single action dual cylinder 45 ACP/45 Colt. I’d imagine using the ACP cylinder with reformed 460 brass. Seems like that could maximize what payload could fit in a revolver.

Excellent tip, thanks. Hadn’t thought of this, even though a friend of mine has used .223 to make rimless 357 Max for many years (and neat-o ARs to shoot higher pressure versions of them as well).
