Is there any .357 Supermag brass left in existance? Not Maximum, but Supermag.  The .357 Supermag brass is 0.005" longer than the .357 Max brass. Anyone here ever shot any or have any?

Yes. And the SM cylinder is slightly longer than Ruger allowing some heavy bullets to be set out to second canelure giving extra powder capacity( needs good roll crimp). Thompson contenders take advantage of this( bellm). If you are wanting the Ultimate Dan Wesson just have one of his Supermags punched to .44 RHINO ( 1.75 inches) and be done with it. Speer 225gr 1725 velocity - 1478 energy- 10 inch barrel.

IMO, just use the maximum brass...  .005" is a sheet of copy paper- fire the brass once and you'll have that stretched out

Technically, the glass is always full; half liquid, half air....

That is GREAT news - I didn't pick up on that and I check the Starline website from time to time.  Remington only runs their .357 Max. brass one every couple years and it sells out quickly.  If you don't catch it when it hits the market there's a long wait between runs.  Jamison brass is also currently available, but it's nice to see a 3rd supply source in the market now.

Received my Max brass the other day, was a little surprised to find, out of 250 - 10% were

at 1.600 and the rest were .005" - .015" shortmad But I trimmed and loaded 100

Just received mine yesterday.  Too busy hunting to shoot.
