I've got a 1972 vintage SRC that will also.

my 44 mag 92 will, but my 357 version won't.

The .44 Special case mouth is probably getting hung on the lifter in your .357.

Try polishing it up a bit, and maybe a stronger spring.

My 357 will feed 38 specials loaded with the Lee 158 RNFP seated to the crimp groove fine. It will jam more often than not with everything else that I have tried. It is an older model Rossi.
