I would like that in a lever gun.How about a 41 magnum necked down to 357? It’s called the 356 GNR, available from Gary Reeder custom guns, out in Arizona. I have one in a T/C G2 barrel. Smokin .....
What velocities do you get?

Elkins45: "The 308 has been necked up to 338 Federal and 358 Winchester. It's been necked down to 7mm-08 and 243. I wish there were a standardized 25 caliber version."
I have wondered that too.
With the .308 and 30-06 relationship you have:
308 Win and 30-06
358 Win and 35 Whelan
7mm-08 and 280 Rem
But...
?? and 25-06
260 Rem and ??
?? and 270 Win
Somebody must have stuck 25 caliber and 270 caliber bullets in a 308 case, and somebody else must have done the same with 6.5 bullets in a 30-06 case.
I would want it for BP round in SAA pattern revolvers. The hope would be to get 158 or 180gr .357 at over 1000fps (i.e. good SD at high velocities for BP). Kind of an upsized .32-20 concept.Yeah, because having a revolver the size of a Redhawk or an N frame that holds 6 rounds, but it only shoots a .357 bullet at about the same velocity of .357 Maximum makes sense.
There weren't many bottleneck cartridges for BP and the ones which did exist had very little shoulder. It's challenging to ensure a non-air gapped compressed load in a sharp bottleneck and there are rummors of strange pressure spikes even when done correctly.I would want it for BP round in SAA pattern revolvers.

I was thinking the .38-40 necked down a little more but I see the concern.

What weight bullet?The 30 carbine should have been the 9mm carbine.
Probably the standard 9mm pistol bullet at the time, 115 or 125gr.What weight bullet?
How about 147 Grains?Probably the standard 9mm pistol bullet at the time, 115 or 125gr.
So a 350 legend?The 30 carbine should have been the 9mm carbine.
Well it is however longer then the 33mm cartridge case of the .30 Carbine, like 43mm, and a higher pressure round...So a 350 legend?
In an M-1 carbine, that would be about the coolest thing ever made.
So it would be a 350 almost legendWell it is however longer then the 33mm cartridge case of the .30 Carbine, like 43mm, and a higher pressure round...
Yeah it’s been done.
264 Win Mag.
Not overly common but the rifles are out there. Ammo is pretty available.
A necked up .50 BMG to .80 caliber??? What do you plan on using it for?A 50bmg that either isn't necked down, or shortened to make it straight wall.
Should put it at around .80 I believe

What is wrong with using these nice .22 Cal pellet guns?Squirrels
