While looking through my reloading manuals at different round and their dimensions a thought came in my head. Take a .223 casing and cut it off right where the shoulder starts or right a 1 7/16 of an inch long. Then put in a 200 grain .358 bullet and load it with a powder like longshot that will keep the pressures down and the velocities up. You would then have a round that will work in an semi auto hand gun or rifle and that is a little longer than a standard 357 mag able to use both the 35 cal rifle bullets for heavier rounds or use the 357 hand gun bullets for the lighter rounds. Or you could cut it the same length as the 357 Mag and call it the 357 Remington Auto Mag but cutting it shorter might limit the bullet choices to the standard pistol bullet where the longer case gives you more room for bullets and powders. What do you guys and gals think of the idea?
