I'll get some pictures of the EMF to post. Meanwhile, I'm still very interested in your input on whether round nose lead cartridges (eg. Federal) in .38 are suitable for safe shooting. Thanks in advance.

Thanks N40W111. Yes, at some point I expect to be hand loading. I'm just not there yet.

I'm new to the site, and new to leverguns. I have a NIB EMF 1892 in .357 with 24" octagon barrel. I've not shot it yet. I have ordered Steve's dvd / follower kit. I'm a little skittish about ammunition. I am not a re-loader. I understand Hornady leverolution will be safe, and I know to not load...
