Question? Can you use .38 in a Marlin ? If so how many rounds in the tube ?

This is what I am getting at as it increases the capacity from 9 to 12 rounds

It is the parent cartridge of 38 special and 38 long colt, thus I'm guessing using it in a 38/357 rifle/lbr should be no problem?

Isn't the .38 Colt short a heeled bullet?

If the .38 short will cycle Ok, it will be faster load and still be ok for GR etc. Only thing I have never seen it mentioned in the GR circles so may be a problem in lever guns.
