MidwayUSA now also has Remington brass for the Max I just got an email saying it had been discontinued.
Rod, too.
Short cuts often lead to long recoveries.

After getting the Discontinued notification from Midway, I picked up 100 pieces of Jamison from Graff to try out. It did have a cracking problem a couple years ago. Not sure if this has been fixed. I plan to keep working with the first 20 rounds of brass, and see if it will take several loadings without failing. After the first firing with a NOE 360-180 WFN-GC over 22.0 grains of 300 MP all was well.
Also working with Starline 360 Dan Wesson Brass. I am pretty impressed with it so far.

I was on Remington's web site last night. They still have 357 Maximum listed as a brass they sell. I am betting it will show back up sooner or later.
If Starline would make 357 maximum, I would be very happy.

Jamison Brass is more readily available and seems decent so far.

Ratgunner the 357 Max Jamison I am working with so far is doing ok. No Splitting issues. However the primer pockets are not real snug. I am using Remington 7-1/2 BR Primers.
I am planning on giving 5 pieces of 357 Max Jamison Brass a test shortly. I will probably use either Hornady 180 XTP's or NOE 360-180's. My cast bullets weigh in at 188 grains with Lube & Gas Check. I figured a Book Maximum Load Times several reloads to see how loose the primer pockets got, and after how many rounds would be a good thing to know. My gut feeling today after a few reloads on my Jamison Brass is that it will work well enough.
