Beautiful
Come, mother, come! For terror is thy name, death is in thy breath, and every shaking step destroys a world for e'er. Thou 'time', the all-destroyer! Come, O mother, come!
Thanks, I thought the .355/.357 thing might be an issue but maybe not. I don't reload (yet) so I didn't know the bullets were/are available as components.

I used to think that also, but then I started keeping an eye out for the dramatically increasing homeless population around downtown Baton Rouge (lots of surprisingly aggressive panhandling in the immediate area). Many of them are wearing 4-6 layers of clothes any given day. There is one guy that I see every couple days I would bet as at least 4 long sleeve sweatshirts on right now.
Very cool! I bought a big bag of mixed 124 and 147 HST just for that project a while back from RMR but haven't gotten to it yet. I was debating pulling down some old 147 38 +P+ Hyrdashok and loading the 147 into those, and the work up a .357 load to push the 124 around 1300 just to see what they did.

I tried .355 9mm bullets in my Marlin .357 lever gun and they were quite accurate.
It’s interesting that the undersized bullets still shoot so well.
Opens up whole new realms for reloaders.
I wonder if the convertible .357/9mm Ruger Blackhawk uses a .357 bore as well?
I guess they wouldn’t be so popular if it didn’t work.
Underwoods 125 gr Bonded/Gold Dot should get very good velocity out of a 3" tube and perform very well I would think.
