I really like my Rossi lever guns.
A good read on the .357 and it's effectiveness is this article with nuclear loads.

I have been shooting the .357 for more than fifty years.
When I started shooting hand guns 45 autos were fifteen or twenty dollars and often you got a bunch of ammo with it for that money.

Another 6mm X 284.
I got my 6mm X 284 at the gunshow for cheap. Loading dies came with it. Came from an estate of an old guy that had a hobby of making some strange guns such as several Ackley...
If it were me, I would do it. Worst that can happen is you will stick a boolit in the bore.
I wouldn't load any just to try them though.
Hornadys minimum load for a 300 grain jacketed in the 44...
I think the point I was trying for was that the heavy boolits in 44s need to be shot faster than you can safely shoot them in a 44 special to stabilize them.
In my case I was trying to shoot the...

I have been trying to load the Ranch Dog 432 265 in my 44 magnum for shooting bowling pins. The best I can do from a rest at fifty feet is about 4.5 inch.

I had him ream my old flattop .357 chamber throats.

where I shoot pins do it the easiest way they can. Place the whole pin on the back edge of the table.
