I have the exact same rifle, was talking to a friend about it yesterday. With 38special, it's like shooting a .22lr
I always double check for protruding primers prior to loading a tube magasine, and check visually how they line up nose to primer. I am not wanting anything sharp to impact the primer.
I have fired a bunch of round nose 38special without issue to this point.
i have fired round nose lead bullets out of a 30.30 winchester without incident too.
