The Montana Extreme and 50 BMG is the nastiest stuff I have used. I certainly gets the copper out if you don't drop over from getting a smell of it.

In my opinion, the typical 357 mag is a lot nastier to shoot than my Smith 629
44 Mag. The 357 recoil seems much sharper and the muzzle blast much

Could it be chambered for the 22 Long?
I believe the 22 Long is the same case as the Long Rifle but with a shorter 29 grain bullet than the LR's 40 grain. Maybe the longer bullet of the LR won't a ... |
