30X357 magnum
This is a very fun and enjoyable little rifle that I built, chambered in 30X357 magnum, aka 300 Blackout-Rimmed...

is that a shotgun turned into a stub or rifle turned to a stub? i've been wanting to do a build on a single shot like this. |
No, it's a muzzle brake screwed onto and permanently attached to the barrel...
The barrel stub started out as a 223... This one was built for hog hunting! |
David what powder are you using? I have a 30 carbine that i want to work up some sub loads for it. I think your 357 should be fairly close. That is an awsome little rifle by the way! Nice job;)

A buddy is building a 6.5x357 max. In a h&r single shot. That looks awesome.

ZKW465 - I am using Unique and 1680 for sub-sonic loads and Winchester 296 for super-sonic loads...
Cavscout68 - I chamber for all of the 357 Maximum based wildcat cartridges. I need to finish my 17X357 Maximum and get a load developed for it. The last one I built for a customer, he was getting 3,800 fps. from his favorite load! |
Think they call that one the 17 super jet?(17 jet was the magnum length one) you should be able to get over 4k ft/sec from the 20gr bullets as it has more capacity than the 17 fireball/mk4. but then again pressure may be a touch less.

You're right! I have a customer with a 17X357 Maximum shooting a Ruger #1 that I built several years ago, and he is getting a little over 4,000 fps. and unbelievable accuracy!
The 357 Maximum based cartridges that I have pressure tested, can safely handle pressures up to 52,000 psi without issue... |
When I was necking down the 357 max case I noticed that at about the 257 size it looked very sexy!
Here is a link with photos of some if my 357 max projects http://www.saubier.com/forum/showthread.php?t=20871 |
