Interesting stuff; I’m looking into a rimmed version for use in a contender barrel, think 45colt as the starting point. I’m a neophyte wrt this and looking for comments on: 1. Will reaming be required if I use a 9mm barrel? 2. Does the 357/45 fire formed brass have the same base diameter as the 45winMag (0.480inches)? Note: I have found that forming 45LC brass to a round with 308 base dimensions results in what looks like a belted and rimmed case. I understand that can be addressed but if I don’t have to. . . .

Thank you. . . I’m a scrounge (my bride might say scroungy) and I have contender barrels in 9mm and 357, and 357AMT, 357/45 WM, and 38/45 Clerke dies. I need to play a bit to see what will work. As to bullets, I agree mostly with your comments but am intrigued by the possibilities that 350 Legend (in whose mind?) bullets present. I think they are .355 or .356 diameter.
I had been interested in a rimmed 7.92x33 (8mm Kurtz) round for a contender barrel but forming the case without a base forming die or “turning” results in a pseudo belt. I could probably use 44-40 brass but esoterically want to use 45LC. The 8mm option also requires a barrel and I have the 357/9mm options covered.
I appreciate valid critical comments even if they hurt my feelings. I’ll post more as things develop.
