How can so many have completely missed the point? Or are you all just yankin' my chain?

.357 is the diameter of a bullet, nothing to do with case dimensions,.

Most of you are limited, ignorant. I'm sorry I asked.

How difficult would it be to modify my AR boltface to accomodate a rimmed handgun cartridge?

Impossible.

5.56 rim diameter is .378.

5.56 rim diameter is .378.
.357 rim diameter is .440.

Necking up is not the only issue.

It would be essentially straight-walled, with no shoulder for headspacing. Sure, you could, but it's hard to figure a reason for doing so.
