I had an early Marlin .357 that I bought new when they came out. It was very picky about feeding - I determined that it was the overall length of the cartridge that mattered most.

It would not feed any brand of .38 ammo I tried, but I shot a lot of it at the range by single loading.

Lead bullets almost always keyholed because of the "micro groove" rifling.
