Does anyone own and shoot a Marlin Lever Action in .357 Magnum? I have one in .44 Mag. and was thinking about getting one in .357. In the new Marlin catalog they have an asterik by the .357 model that says, "Consult owners manual for ammunition use." I was wondering just what they meant? I was wondering how well they feed and eject .38 Specials. I've got a ton of 'em!   billt.

I had one many years ago, wish I still had it. Never a bobble with .357s, but wouldn't feed any .38 Specials shorter than 158 gr RN.
