.357?
« on: July 11, 2005, 04:52:33 PM »
I'm sure this has been asked before, if so, I missed it.
Will a .38 Special case loaded with a RCBS 200 gr. FP cycle through the action?
Thanks,
Clyde

.357?

ihmsa70 - I am sure it will.  The flat point is what you should use in a lever gun and I believe some of the CASS folk use the 38 Spl and the 357 interchangably in their rifles.  

The 200 gn flatpoint should be an excellent bullet.  I shoot those and CP Bullets 200 gn swc from my 38 spl and 357 revolvers and that's all I use for personal carry and field use in those calibers.  

For your Marlin there are any number of reloads you can use - my old Lymna manual has a number of loadings for the 195 gn bullet that work just right for the 200 gn in both calibers.  I also have Winchester factory data that I use.  

If you would like some of that loading data just let me know.  HTH.  Mikey.
