357 Maximum

[AZGun Guy]

I HAVE 153 PIECES OF 357 MAX BRASS AND ONE FACTORY BOX. MY POST OFFICE SAY'S I CAN'T SHIP THE CARTRIDGES. ONLY BRASS.
I WILL PULL THE BULLETS FOR YOU BEFORE I SHIP THEM TO YOU. They

You'll have to cover shipping. I would gladly take an I love shooting gift for the brass and effort.

I'll take them!

And I'm sure I can cover shipping as well as a goodie box of shooting stuff.

Nickel's make dimes, dimes make dollars. Trying to save up for a Atlas Bipod and if the Fates smile on me a Altus Carbon Fiber tripod instead.
I'll be ready when a used one turns up. I have a Ram hunt in my future.

Any little bit helps. What is your Zip Code so I can find out the cost?

My zip; 28746

They could chamber their "new" 1894c lever as well

You might have to pull the primers as well. Not sure. Better check.

He shipped just brass to me!

.357 Maximum was chambered by Thompson Center in their Contenders.
I had a 10" bull barrel which was a nice shooter.
UNTIL the gun locked up solid.
I never shoot maximum loads in handloads !
I had to disassemble it to remove the barrel and fired empty.

The frame went back to T-C and I got a nice letter from them stating sorry, they could not repair the old style frame and would I accept one of the then new G style frames as a free replacement ? Heck YEAH I would and did.
I miss T-C and their old style way of doing business.
I did sell that barrel though.

It may be old news but I read recently that S&W sold T/C to Greg Ritz who intends to revive T/C.

dang why did i sell mine????????????????????????????????

Possibly a case of temporary insanity on your part. Never had one, sure wish I did. I did that too with a .327 Fed. Mag. Based on the availability and price of ammo was the justification I used. In retrospect, all I did was get a big case of sellers remorse. If you wanted it to begin with, hold onto it is my current philosophy. Just buy the necessary loading components.
