I recently picked up a lever action in .357/ .38. It is a Rossi 92. I did a lot of window shopping before I got it, so spare me the "should have gotten a Marlin" I have two of those and this one has a different purpose and is destined to a much harder life.
Anyways, I really like the gun, but dont know much about Pistol Caliber Rifles. What sort of bullet will they like to cycle the best? I bought some Remington jacketed hollow points, and they seem to feed those fairly well, but I notice they will hang up if I am not careful in how fast I work the lever. Definitely user error. It works well enough for its purpose, but I plan to do some handloading.
Should I be using lead round nosed, lead flat tip, jacketed bullets, etc? Which one will likely feed the best?
