.357 Herrett vs. .35 Remington..need opinions

[redneck2]

Have a chance to get a screaming deal on one or more Thompson Contenders. Several are in .357 Herrett (one 10" and one 14" barrel) and one is the 35 Remmie. The 35 Remington is about $40 more.

Anyone have experience with these???

As a side note....for those who think there are no "deals".....I can trade a Ruger 10/22 even up for the Herrett

Get the .35 Remington in the 14" or 16" (16" has the advantage of legally taking shoulder stock). Factory ammo with good loads at resonable price , little more power than the other labor intensive cartridge. IF they made factory Herret rounds for $12 a box I'd consider it, BUT they don't.

I had a .357 Herrett. I soon swore completely off of wildcats and swapped the barrel for a .30-30. Get the Remington unless you just like tinkering with brass.
