Rossi lever actions4/28/2023 434 for example) the rossis are pretty good in this regard. I believe the barrel is internally.356 and with the often insane variations between lever action brands, ( some 44's vary from. The twist on the rossis is slow, aka 1:30 for all calibres( marlins are even slower, the win 1873's are faster at about 1:18), so the rossies will prefer bullets on the lighter side of 180 grains the best. The 24" parallel sided octagonal in 357, which I own, is quite a muzzle heavy little pig. The 16 and 20 are round barrels and very lighweight guns, the 24" is a heavy octagonal, unhistorically heavy for the record as modern versions do not have the taper of the originals, and are quite muzzle heavy, The bigger calibres take some meat out of the octagonal barrel which keeps weight down. 38 special loads or 357 loaded down you can load cast bullets from 750-850fps with just 2-3 grains of powder which is not much louder than 22LR.( CCI stinger in 22LR for example has 2.6 grains of powder in the case for comparison) There is a 1892 guru in the US as mentioned above who puts out a DVD on smoothing Rossi actions if you want to turn one into a cowboy action race gun. If they won't feed 38 special and you are using that brass you can just seat the bullet out to match the longer 357 loaded length. I got lucky with mine and it feeds everything. As mentioned they can be great or a bit rough, and its usually trial and error whether they will feed the shorter 38 specials or very wide meplat flat points. I can never remember the correct order but they have been named Taurus and Puma at various times as well. I own a rossi 1892 in 357 too, which was marketed as the model Rossi 1892 when I got it. Model 67 appears to be an Aussie domestic import label applied just the last year or two for what is the standard Model 1892 by Rossi.( Edit, this was corrected by Pomemax below, while it is indeed the same 1892 for a while it was released as other model numbers) I asked the same thing on the rossi forums about the strange model numbers.
