The .357 Maximum, formally known as the .357 Remington Maximum or the .357 Max, is a super magnum handgun cartridge originally developed by Elgin Gates as the wildcat .357 SuperMag.[1] The .357 Maximum was introduced into commercial production as a joint-venture by Remington Arms Company and Ruger in 1983 as a new chambering for the Ruger Blackhawk.[2] Shortly thereafter, Dan Wesson Firearms and Thompson/Center Arms introduced firearms in this cartridge. United Sporting Arms chambered it in their Silhouette series single-action revolvers. It is a .357 Magnum case lengthened {{convert|0.300|in}}.[3] Based on the .357 Magnum cartridge, a revolver or single-shot pistol designed for the .357 Max can fire .357 Magnum, .38 Special, .38 Long Colt, and .38 Short Colt rounds. Intended primarily as a silhouette cartridge, such high velocity and energy levels have hunting applications.[2] SAAMI pressure level for this cartridge is set at {{convert|40000|psi|MPa}}. [4] [5][6]

Despite good performance, the high pressure and velocity of the cartridge caused flame cutting of revolver top straps (due to the use of light {{convert|110|and|125|gr}} bullets), and the cartridge has since been dropped by all manufacturers who so chambered their revolvers.[7] Single shot pistols and rifles (e.g., Thompson/Center Contender) are still available in this caliber, and remain popular among handloaders.[2] Unprimed brass is still produced every few years by Remington, and is also a stock item from Starline.[8]

Legacy

Guns designed for the .357 Maximum were built on a larger frame than their predecessors. Although Ruger only made 7,700 Blackhawks chambered in .357 Maximum, the frame size has been used as a base-gun to build bigger revolvers in .445 SuperMag and both the .475 and .500 Linebaugh Long/Maximum.[9]

In the 2011 Movie Flypaper, Wyatt "Jelly" Jenkins (Pruitt Taylor Vince) uses a Dan Wesson Model 15 VH chambered in .357 Remington Maximum as his main sidearm.
