    No 357 carbine in old Rossi

    Does anyone know if this will load in an older Rossi
    My pre safety gun will only chamber h&g 503’s in 357 brass
    I use special brass for SWC molded boolits
    The 170+ grain carbine mold currently in last call would make a great hunting round I would expect

    Only way to know for sure, is to try it.

    My Rossi .357, which I bought new somewhere around 2011, will feed the lanky 358429 bullet. You can't prissy around with it, and have to work the lever like it's your ex-wife, but she'll feed 'em!

    The biggest waste of time is arguing with the fool and fanatic who doesn't care about truth or reality, but only the victory of his beliefs and illusions.

    My Rossi 62 SRC Puma choked on .357s but ate.38 Special like candy. Tried to remedy it but quit caring and just loaded .38s for it.

    MY Rossi, probably from "over-slicking" started flipping .38's out instead of chambering them, but runs .357's easily.

    Groo here
    Remember that the older design SWC bullets[Keith} were made for 38spec cases and have long noses..
    When loaded in 357 cases they are too long for the Rossi action[longer than 1.6in also too long for the short cylinder guns like the M-28]
    Check the OAL...
