Friend has a marlin 1894 in .357. He has had feeding problems with 38 specials so he uses 357 mags typically but the dang thing would only hold 9 so he was loading 1 38 special case with 9 357's. Any way we cut a few coils off the spring and took off about .10" off the nose of the follower and ten will barely fit but the last one is tough.

Does anyone know the 125 grain rnfp from missouri bullet OAL?

If we case find a bullet that has 1.48~ oal it would work well I think.

Did you take the plug out of the end of the tube. Did that to Katie's 1894 CBC 38 spl and it will hold ten now.

Sam :D

Give these folks' bullets a try.I've shot with them for years and they are Pards to ride the river with.They will send a free sample pack of their bullet for you to try.Great follks to deal with.
