    There are several 336's running around in 357 Herrett-BFG.

    A couple of 1895's running around in 458 BFG/SOCOM (if using the rimless SOCOM case - the 35 Remington bolt is a must).

    There are folks that will build 50 AE's(and AE based wildcats) on 1894's. At 36,000 psi with the increase in case piston area over available factory chamberings, that doesn't interest me much.

    Looking at approximately the same piston area on the WSSM case, with another 20,000 psi applied to the piston is a recipe for quick disaster.

    By the time the case was loaded down to an acceptable amount of bolt thrust - I estimate you'd be lucky to meet the velocity of the 357 Herrett-BFG.
