I wouldn't say it hard to come by. I recently put a WTB for some and I got multiple replies pretty quick.

When your looking for it yes. I stopped looking and it just keeps showing up. I currently have over 300. But if the price was right.

You can shoot 38 spl and 357 mag in it. You might suffer some accuracy issues as the jump to the lands is long.Would this still be capabull of shoot’in the 38 special?
Oh, ask’in pour une amis.
This round can be chambered nicely into just about any Mod 94, Mod 1899 rifles as well as just about any single shot, such as a Martini or Rem Rolling block and many others.
It's to long to feed through a Mod 92 action.
I saw a Savage Mod 340 rebarreled to the 357 Maximum.
I have a Martini chambered for it as well as another chambered for a wildcat cartridge, the 257 Maxi, which is just a necked down 357 Max case. It needs to be done in three separate stages, can't be done in one pass.
The 357 Maxi makes for a very nice and handy rifle, quite capable of taking Deer and Bears cleanly out to 150 yds when loaded to near max pressures in barrels of 18+ inches.
The chamber in my Martini is tight and when I shoot 38 S&W, 38 spl, 357 magnum through it accuracy is not good, as mentioned above.
One thing that is nice about the cartridge is it's long enough to be able to hold enough No 7 pellets, over a cardboard wad with wax over the case mouth to take grouse out to 25 yds. I tried crimping a card over the case mouth and not much difference.

It's all interesting at one point or another. The 257 Max sits in the safe a lot.

interesting, I have a Savage 340 that is now wearing a .357 barrel that just needs chambering, but I was planning to go with the 357 Herret
I lucked into a Uberti Rolling block in 38/357 that had been reamed out to 357 max.
Super light little rifle that is a giggle to shoot 38 wadcutters out of. It isn't a large frame number one action.
More along the lines of a number five action in size.
It came with Maximum brass, but I haven't loaded any up yet. Kind of leery, even though I know the Rolling
Block action is somewhat strong. I just have other shooters that have more whallop.
Might use it to take a deer from the stand, but we'll see what the future holds

Awesome round. Shot one years ago in a Contender. Was getting 2000fps with 158gr from the Super 14 barrel.
