Why not do like I did. Buy a new Ruger 357mag Blackhawk. Send it to Gary. Have him rechamber or make another cylinder. I have other 357s, so I had him rechamber. You have a choice of 4 5/8" or 6 1/2"barrel. I know it is not as compact, but the conversion is safe, powerful and accurate. Use Hornady 158fp XTP or 180 XTP or Swift 158gr or 180 gr. I killed a deer with the 158gr Swift and a case full of H-110.

Silly idea: 356 GNR J Magnum Frame or SP101

I like your zeal. But the ballistics are not favorable.
