Case forming would be interesting, at minimum. I do recall a similar concept that used a plastic insert/sleeve that went over and supported the shoulder. If that's used on the B&D, one would have to wonder where you'd get the sleeves. [Maybe the sleeves were used in the experimental setup to avoid the cartridge setback problems that plagued the .22 Jet and were determined to be unnecessary? ]
357/44 B&D cases are formed from 44 mag brass I believe. RCBS and another company make the dies to reform, and load. Besides the cylinder, and other minor parts to make a complete assembly, I see no barrel work that would or should be needed. I wonder about the cost to do this?
