Don't have any interest in a cartridge that requires moon clips

Like the Ruger 30 Carbine revolver, the
S&W 350L headspaces on the case mouth.
It loads like any other revolver and
does not require moon clips.
Note: The "moonclip" feature the OP seems to be speaking of is an integral
speedloader option .. .
...
not actual moonclip necessity.

Even if a rimmed (38 special, 357 Mag, 357 Max would fit/function, the extractor wouldn't engage them the rims --
-- and the moonclip wouldn't be useable to solve that problem.
