FWIW: It handles both .358 going in (and cast at that), and spits out the same diameter bullet as my 357Mag 1894 Marlin: ---> 0.355"

This evening, Powder Valley Delivered my latest: Norma-200.
QuickLoad to the Rescue... and a dusky-dark range session*

350 LEGEND SIZE/EXP: 0.358” /ALOX
LEE 358-200grRF-GC #2(195gr_act)/NORMA-200/28.0/CCI#41/OAL 2.166”
QL15" predicts = 40,869psi/1947FPS (*1,950 actual) %Fill/Burn: 107/94

A 200gr cast 357 bullet doing 2,000fps out of a 15" rifled barrel is nothing to sneeze at.
I'm coming to regard it as somewhat of a quarterhorse.
