...do you know that from experience and would the .44 mag be the same way? That's why I never bought their .44 rifles..kept hearing that bad news but never nailed it down...
Not particularly an issue if you reload--just load .44mag down to .44spl levels. .44spl is pretty much a reloading proposition anyhow with the lack of choices in loaded ammo.

...loaded quite a bit of .44 Spl...but don't load .44Mag, since I don't shoot it...so it'd be a whole nuther setup...not worth it to me to "solve" the problem that leverguns already have solved...don't understand why that tiny difference in case length keeps the Spl from feeding from the Mag rotary mag, though...

...I never could figure why only Marlin came out with a .357 levergun or pump back when the revolver was king...some like Rossi and Puma and Henry have since...but they'd have mopped up back in the 70s...I'm still lusting for a Henry in .44 and one in .357...I just ain't been that good lately and someone snitched to Santa....
