I have a .357 Max and a .30 Herrett albeit as carbine/rifle.

The Herrett is easy to form but did cost more to start. The MAX brass can be hard to locate but seems to last and one can use carbide dies to resize. One has MANY options with the MAX, not so many with the Herrett. THEN one has to carefully look at which barrel one gets for the Herrett as there are two different rifling patterns just from the factory, different twist rates, etc.
After all that the .357 is "pre-expanded" over the .30... I have never found a suitable for me .357 Herrett barrel.
Oh, and one other thing, my 1:12" twist Herrett barrel will NOT stabilize bullets much over 150 grains. The 125-130 grain weight seems to be the way to go with it.
