Hello all.
Finally fired my Rossi M92 today that I bought back in January or so. I got a 16" Carbine in .38/.357. It's a handy little gun and shot quite well. The rifle was a good "pointer." I bought this gun in the hopes that it would be "ban proof," and not a target of any misguided assault weapons ban. Heck, this kind of gun was the original high capacity assault weapon.
The only problem was that the hollowpoint cartridges had a shorter overall length, and so they would not chamber. When cycling the action, they flew right out through the top of the gun! The FMJ loads were long enough to cycle and chamber properly. I was only shooting .38's and do not have any .357 on hand but I am hoping that the latter's length will help it chamber.
