I don't know how you reckon that. The bullet is squarely over the primer unless you're shooting a Remington 14 or 141.yup your fine, plus with rimmed rounds the bullet tip is only 1/2 over the primer.
put 2 rimmed rounds on a flat surface. the taper of the round keeps the bullets of dead center. the op's photo even shows the rake in the case.I don't know how you reckon that. The bullet is squarely over the primer unless you're shooting a Remington 14 or 141.

well tell the french that, they would disagree.Push the two bullets together, watch physics in action. The spring pressure of the mag tube encourages the rounds to compress to their minimal linear dimension, which is found when coaxial. That “rake” laying on the table, not in a mag tube is not how they orient in the mag.
Rounds may or may not align perfectly nose to primer in a typical tubular magazine, but the Lebel isn't really a fair example of what happens in a typical tubular magazine with typical ammo.well tell the french that, they would disagree.

The Lebel 1886 was designed with a follower that tilted the round.
In a detachable magazine with a rimmed ctg. yes, but we are talking a tubular magazine.put 2 rimmed rounds on a flat surface. the taper of the round keeps the bullets of dead center. the op's photo even shows the rake in the case.
Is the recoil of the 357 mag in this firearm adequate to do this?
One specific incident I remember reading was with 45-70+P rounds loaded with hardcast flat nose bullets in a Marlin rifle. Seems like I have seen reports of two incidents with this combination.
no answer for your problem, but since you said "new Marlin" can we hear about it? Specifically where you got it, what it cost, special order/off the shelf, quality?
No need to be nervous about these rounds. I've been shooting them in my Marlin for 30 years & accuracy is outstanding. I have to special order them & they are not cheap, but you can load & unload all day long without harming or deforming the bullet not to mention that they are pure poison on deer.Just for the record: While I am comfortable with the 30-30 with LeveRevolution bullets and the shock absorber tip, I am still nervous about those Winchester 30-30 loads with that 150 gr RN Hollowpoint...(Plus, they don't shoot worth a darn in either of my 30-30's)
I got it off the rack at my LGS for $675. They had 2 in stock.
Quality wise the rifle seems to be very good. The fit and finish seem to be good, but to be honest I'm not an expert. Its a good looking gun
The lever action is very smooth. It seems to be smoother than my previous 1894CS. It also seems to cycle 38s better than my old one. At the end of my first range session I ran into a handful of minor cycling issues, but I shot the gun without cleaning it first. I was also overly tired by the end if than session as well, worked about 13 hours the day before.
I was impressed with the accuracy. At 25 yards offhand, with buckhorn sights and bad eyes I did pretty good.
The Fiocchi TC rounds loaded and cycled perfectly and hit right to point of aim. I did have difficulty with 2 different types of hp not wanting to load properly, but others loaded fine.
I am very happy with my new 1894C!
