|---|---|
| Cartridge | 357 Magnum |
| Overall Length (inches) | 37.0 |
| Weight (lbs) | 5.75 |
| Barrel Length (inches) | 20.0 |

The Rossi Puma chambered in 357 Magnum can also fire 38 special cartridges but wad cutter rounds must be loaded singly as they will not feed properly from the magazine. I have never had any problem with firing 38 special ammunition with semi wadcutter or flat point bullets. Ammunition with round nose full metal jacketed bullets must not be used in the tubular magazine.
