I've seen a number of small Martinis in .22RF with the sidewall cut down for ease in loading.  Would I be inviting catastrophe to trim one down that is chambered in .357 Max for the same reason?  If it matters I shoot 190gr cast PP with a 28gr charge of 1680.  Sometimes I think too much, usually causes problems.  GW

Since the sidewall helps support the rear of the breech block I think this would weaken it.

   Shocked  357 Max operates at a whole different pressure level to a 22 rf.

I suppose that breech thrust would definitely be a big factor.  When I think about it I've never seen any of those that have been converted to various varmint cartridges that have had the right side lowered, or any that were made with a lowered side for .22RF converted to higher pressure cartridges.  As I said, too much thinking can lead to unforseen troubles.  GW
