Not really looking for load or caliber recommendations, but I was curious as to what shape bullet your 1892 likes best, and what doesn't feed smoothly.
My 1894P (O.K. not an 1892 but fires similar cartridges) Marlin .44 feeds a WFN bullet so smoothly you think it couldn't have possible fed, but it did. It doesn't do well with SWC, RNFP are pretty good.
I've had original and newer 1892's in .25-20, .32-20, .44-40, .44 Mag. and .45 Colt.
This 16" stainless Rossi is my first .357 lever, and I'm liking it. Perfect size round for the desert.
You would think that a RNFP bullet would feed well in the Rossi .357 and a SWC would not feed that smoothly.
But the opposite is the case. 158 gr. RNFP don't feed very smoothly at all, but some lead SWC I shot today fed GREAT.
All of the different bullet shapes are seated around the same OAL, 1.560" for the RNFP to 1.575" for the SWC.
Last week I tried some heavy full wad-cutters. They are 173 grain so seated to the crimp groove, about 3//16" sticks out of the case.
Those fed great for about 5 rounds, then the short OAL of the wadcutter ammo would intermittently cause a misfeed, one of the short rounds would be on the carrier and another would poke out of the magazine enough to tie up things.
But it seems the overall length of the round is more critical than the bullet shape.
I have some MBC 180 gr. coated Pugnose WFN coming, we'll see how those do.
