I'm going to suggest two things:

1) Reintroduce the COMPLETE 357mag or max rifle

2) 358 Win. (like handirifle suggested)

I suppose throwing my 2 cents out there and in line with the actual threads interest.... Perhaps a 338 Federal or maybe ...and wishful thinking... a 26" 243, 30-06, 308, and-or- 270. They seem to have the means, and an extra inch or 2 would be as easy to cut to length as a 20"  :-\
Still with all the continued interest in the 357Mag I believe offering it as a complete rifle again is a good idea.
I do look forward to hearing what is in store to come.

65.x55 would be wonderful. it is ever-so-slightly rimmed, making it an extra good candidate. pressure's right for the handi, too. it's loaded by several manufacturers to boot.

.30-40 krag would be grand, with that rim and handi-happy pressure. it is still loaded, too.

.375 winchester would be a good one, too. hard to find loaded ammo, but components are easy as pie.
