I have one of those Marlin 357 mag lever action rifles. I suspect that
the 38 spl will not feed correctly.
It should shoot just fine if you can get it to feed through the
magazine. Not a whole lot quieter than a shot gun though.
Use a .22 rifle with hollow points. They work great on skunks and coons.
A .22 Mag would be even better if you have access to one.
