Hello,
I am considering getting a lever gun in .357.
I have a couple of questions and I am hoping someone can offer me some insight.
1. Confirm that I can shoot .38 special brass. Or do I need to load .357 brass?
2. I load .38/.357 for pistol on a D 550B and want to confirm I can use the same ammo. Can I get away without trimming case length if my loads are low pressure plinking rounds?
3. Am I ok to load 38 round nose bullets considering the magazine tube orientation? They look to be similar in profile to the 30-30 bullet so I am guessing I am ok here.
4. I am open to any other nuggets of help as well.
Many thanks,
Lucky!
