357 Magnum vs MAXIMUM
Just got a .357 MAXIMUM Barrel for my TC contender carbine.
It of course will take: 357 MAX, MAG, and/or 38 Spl
Loaded up some MAXIMUM Cases ( new Remington Brass) with 180 grain HP Semi Jacketed and 21 grains of H110
Dont have a Chrony, but the data says it should fly at ~ 1900 fps @ the muzzel.
I also built some 357 MAGNUM ( 158 grain SP semi-jacketed and 6.1 of Tightgroup)
Sighting the Contender in at 25 yards with the 357 Magnum, I found that the MAXIMUM printed ~9 inches LOW.
I am guessing that the slower 357 Magnum, stayed in the barrel longer and got more "lift" from the recoil driven rise of the barrel
BUT........
NINE Inches !!......???
