Pardon me up front. This is one of those questions that come to mind when it is February and the cabin walls are starting to close in.
I have a Marlin 1894 in 38/357. I carry it fairly regularly down at the farm for the possibility of a coyote popping into view and it gives me something different besides my EDC. I've got several loads for it. One is a 357 158 grain cast lead load with which I someday hope to nail a doe. Another is a 357 125 grain general purpose plinker.
I have a bunch of 38 SPL brass. I'm contemplating a using it in this rifle and I got to wondering. I figure somebody here may have already tried it and has an answer.
1) Can this rifle cycle 38 spl wadcutter rounds?
2) If so, how many of these rounds will fit in the magazine?
3) Do you gain any extra capacity using wadcutters?
