So I am about to purchase a lever action 357/38 Marlin.
I have been shooting my 38 reloads out of a smith model 15-7, and they are functioning fine. Does anything need to be changed to be able to fire the same round out of a lever action,maybe crimping or something like that? I currently use a Lee FCD. I know it sounds like a stupid question, but I am brand new to lever guns, somewhat new to reloading, and dont want to overlook anything that would be obvious to a more veteran reloader. These loads are for target practice only. My load data is below. Thanks.
