30 Herrett

..boy, brings back old memories !! Had a Super 14 in 35 herrett back when they were first introduced, seems to me it was in the late 70's? First time I had to form casings to make it work, actually very simple to take the 30/30 case up to .357 dia, loved that handgun and it really leveled those IHMSA silhouettes...then babies started showing up and I sold it, what a blackhead I was..

I still have my first 10" barrel, frame and dies in 357 Herrett from the 70's, and sometime later, I added a Super 14" in same. Several barrels and calibers have been added since.

I parted with my 357 Herrett for a 35 Remington. I still don't know if I came out ahead.

Well, the 35 Rem doesn't need case forming, but the 357H is more efficient in those short barrels. With some loads, it is almost a wash between the two, but the 35 Rem wants more powder.
