If the ammo will feed reliably there is no reason not to shoot .38 Specials in your levergun. I have shot many hundreds of .38s in my Marlin. Pointy bullets, not round nose bullets can cause a chain fire in the tube. I'm not sure why someone above warned about LRN bullets?

I like carrying a levergun and S.A. revolver in 38/357 while in the woods. It's an easy carry and suitable for protection where I live.
