Have any of you guys found a loading technique or gun mod to successfully feed DEWC's through your lever guns? I know a lot of folks shoot them using a manual feed, but I'm wondering if some of you lever gun wizards have actually found a method to make it feed like any other boolit. I'd like to shoot the 148 gr .358 Lee DEWC through a Marlin 1874. Am I dreaming, or is this not possible due to design limitations? Thanks in advance for any help!

only way i can get full wadcutters to work in mine is as a 2 shooter. load one in the chamber and one in the mag tube with the wadcutter the cartrige cut off won't stop the next cartrige. semi wad cutters do work in mine. fishhawk
