The 30 Carbine is slick but as I understand it, the .357 was alive and well when the 30 Carbine was designed by Winchester at the request of the military in 1941. The 38 Super also had a devoted following and was a worthy auto cartridge. A .357 Auto Rim should have been a no brainer. The .357 can produce the same velocity as the 30 carbine using a 125 gr bullet without much trouble and for sure would have been effective at 200 yards and a knock out at 100 yards.
I compared the case length and the two are almost identical. So why no .357 mag auto rim carbine? If I had the money I would build it.
