    Question 308 Magnum?

    While dwadling thru some reloading manuels, I noticed the 30 Carbine has the correct brass length of 1.290, which puts it in the 357/41/44 Magnum case lengths....

    Now if they had only made the 32-20 as the 308 Mag....

    How about the 327 Federal? It's a little shorter, but barks like a big dog.

    Yup, 1.200 inch compared to 1.290, a whole .09 shorter.

    There already is a .308 Magnum, maybe kinda big for your revolver though.

    Norma?

    I kid you not, I saw an ad for a .223 derringer....

    Meet the newest from Heizer: the ‘Pocket AR’ PAR1 .223 derringer

    You'll love the .410 shotgun as well.
