Just picked up a Rossi 357/38 lever action carbine. The manual says that full metal jacket and round nose ammo should not be used, because, due to recoil, it could set off the primer in the other bullets in the tube. Only flat-topped, lead ammo is recommended. A guy at the gun shop said round nose and fmj is just fine in the lever action. My question is, Is the warning just because someone, somewhere experienced a random magazine firing and the lawyers had to include this warning, or are these types of bullets really not suitable for the tube magazine in a lever action rifle?
Thanks for your advice.
