357 Maximum is too long to chamber in a 357 Magnum chamber. That was done intentionally, to prevent people doing something stupid like putting a 50,000 psi cartridge in a gun designed for 35000 psi cartridges.

What part of this are you having trouble understanding? >Notice that I listed them all in an order. Short to long. You can go up, but you can't go down. You can shoot 44 Russian in a 454 Supermag, but you cannot shoot 454 Supermag in a 44 Russian.<
