It was supposed to be a hotter 357 mag round, don't believe that the acual ammo was ever produced.

Yep, basically a hot-rodded 357 Magnum. The load was supposedly 16.0 of 2400 with a 150 - 160 grain slug. Rumor has it they deep chambered the cylinder for 'longer' 357 brass that never materialized. I have a GW 357 Atomic and will measure the chambers when I get a chance. -Lee www.singleactions.com"Building carpal tunnel one round at a time" |

Another shameless plug for the Great Western Collector's Forum: gwcollector.proboards.com/index.cgi?Thanks Lee for your support. You know I have my eye on that .357 Atomic of yours. Maybe post the pics again so we can drool. Joe |

Plug away....the GW has been a great resource for me. I've learned a lot over there. Here's my matte finished 357 Atomic:  -Lee www.singleactions.com"Building carpal tunnel one round at a time" |

GW's do have 'that look'. I was never a fan of plastic stags until I bought my first couple of Great Westerns. -Lee www.singleactions.com"Building carpal tunnel one round at a time" |
