.357 Maximum on a SB1?
« on: January 30, 2009, 04:55:11 PM »
I  recently bought a .357 Mag/20 ga combo, and would like to ream the .357 Mag to Maximum. I know lots of guys have done this, but has anybody done it on an SB1 frame?

Ream it then give us a range report. ;)
Remington knows people are gonna ream it to Max. If it wasn't safe, they wouldn't sell it on that frame.

I have one of the new sb1 357's reamed to maxi.  Seems to do ok.  The maxi shot well, the 357mag loads did not.  Seems to have been my loads, because the hornady le's shot fairly well.
