Came across this in a auction and the guy said they are stamped 357 Max but they don't look like any 357 Max I have seen.

Here is his response:Sorry about the quality of my photos. These cartridges are definitely rimmed.

Using my cheap-o plastic caliper, the rim has a diameter of approx. 10mm and the remainder of the brass shell has a diameter of approx. 9.1mm

The shell has the following headstamp "R-P 357 REM MAX"

  Suggestion: Stay away from the Light Projectiles - the Standard .357 tends to over penetrate. With the speed of the .357 MAX, I think I would try something fairly soft for expansion, Jacketed for Retention, and heavy for Energy. Might ask "ATF" for the 200 grain loading. [;)]

  To be more specific I am looking for a round for whitetail when I bought the gun it came with 300 rounds of ammo which were reloads only problem is they are all mixed p.I think most of them are 180grn since it is set up with a scope and I beleive it was used for silouets.excuse the spelling.It shots good with the rounds I have but they are all assorted.
