It will work fine. I have a Ballard #2 in .32 Ballard XL, and I shoot shorts, longs, and XL's all in it. The longer cases show better accuracy, but they all work. Clean the chamber with a good bore brush afterwards, and all will be well.
Marlin lever actions 1870's-WWI, Ballards, and single shot rifles!
