It was to rebore the old worn .32 Winchester Specials to .35 cal. It is basically an unrefined version of Gary's .355 GNR. Of course it was only for the old lever action carbines too. There is an old article in the Handloader magazine you might research.

The .355 GNR would be a very sound idea for the Contender. Smaller head area, strong case, straight profile for less concentrated forces on the gun, and improved efficiency. What's not to like?

Something interesting to chew on. - WB, 2018-03-21, 13:23

        I can attest the bullet design is tops! - WB, 2018-03-21, 18:30
