Super Magnum

I messed up when I made mention of this in the Mauser section above.

I bought a Dan Wesson SuperMagnum revolver in .357max. It came with a second barrel liner, addition sight inserts, tools, guages and a second set of rubber grips.

It's an Xframe. I compared it with a SW .460vxr and it's the exact same size. The right hand cartridge is the .357max shown with a .38spl and a .357mag.

shown here with a SW629 .44 mag for comparison:

and here with a Model 66 SW:

Shooting the .38 and .357mag in it is like shooting a .22 !

Load it up with what it's made for and it ROARS !

I understand it was available in a .41MAX and .44 MAX round as well.

Anyone else got one?

I've only seen them in picture's but how hard is it to get ammo for it now?

Ammo is tough to get. None of the major mfgrs carry it. I found a place in RI that has it and got 100 rounds from them.

Now that I have rounds (and eventually once fired brass) , I'm going to have to reload it.

brass
