Carbine-only load for .357 Mag?
The first 357 Magnum levergun was a Winchester 92 rebored and converted by a guy named Ward Koozer in Douglas Arizona. This was about 1962 or 63. I used the same loads in it as I did in my sixguns, which was 358156 GC over 15/2400. Since that time I have also had 2 Marlin carbines in that caliber, but I keep giving them away to family, so I can't hold on to one.
I have never tried any powder but 2400. I have fired plain base cast bullets, but always had better results with gas checks.
Have fun!
