Okay all you obscure caliber types, some questions.
I have a friend who inherited a Contender. One of the barrels is chambered in .357 Herrett. If memory serves this is a wildcat deamed up by Steve Herrett and some gun mag. I think it's formed from .30-30 brass, but don't quote me on that. Some cursory checking on the web confirms the cartridge to be as obscure as I had presumed.
My question is one of ammo availability. Did anyone ever make this as a factory round? If so, is there a place that still carries it that doesn't require some blood and the promise of your first-born in exchange? I haven't had any luck finding anything on the web other than Buffalo Catridge, who will gladly load up a 50rd box for a mere $90.
Suggestions? Options? Beuller..?
