It is noted that the original rear barrel sight is a magnificent jewel of workmanship Great Fun, even tho old eyes have trouble with the Vee/invert Vee sights. My 357Mag Cadet likes the Lyman 358315, 200 gr cast bullet. I can remember that, back in the late '50s, I drooled over the Klein's ads for the Martini Cadets in the TAR and other gun magsīut at that time, in High School, I could not afford even the 20some dollar prices for them.

Some say they made a few 44 mags, but that would be really pushing it what with the 0.750 barrel shank. They were selling original 310 Greener, but also rebored and/or rechambered them for sale in 32 Win Spl, 32-20, and 357 Mag.

I will test it this week in preparation for next months match. 323 diameter bullets I could obtain for the cadet bores but think this will help in the accuracy department.

The hardest part was making the chamber reamer but it did a good job on all the three applications. I made the inline loading die and sizing die from the same reamer I cut the chamber with then lapped out the rifle chamber with a fire-formed case to make the chamber a bit larger for loading ease. 310 cadet barrel reamed out to the wildcat. 357 maximum was re-barreled and chambered to that cartridge, the Wildcat had the chamber of the original.
