There is a guy who advertises on GB all the time about punching a 357 to 357 max. Mike Bellm also does the same thing and has been for sometime. Mike was also doing the 350 Legend before Henry released it this last year. I know on another forum I have read where a 444 has been done.

Al, how are the factory triggers on those things?
I've only seen one, but I never tried the trigger.

They had a recall on the Single shots a little over a year ago. Lots of people modified the spring for the hammer which also controlled trigger pull. I had to send mine back to Henry for the recall in which they updated the spring and the trigger. The hammer pull prior to this was real heavy. You needed a hammer spur on it so you could pull it back easier. Now its much easier and the trigger pull is good. The single shots for sale now have the new system in them. If you buy or look at a used one inside the trigger guard is a dimple that will be there if it has been updated.

Thanks Al, I remember something about the recall.
I'll be lookin fer a new one, but if I found a used one at a good price I would snatch it.

At one time I thought about getting another one and sending it out for a 357 max chambering through Bellm. I have a 357 max in a 10 inch contender still in the safe. The 357 max is a cool cartridge I think but I just had other things that were more important at the time. Now I think the 357 is just fine for what I need one for. All I do with it is shoot steel.
