265 FP’s have 2 cannelures, and you’ll have to crimp into the one which will give you the shortest COL.
I had good luck with them in my 20” bbl’d 1984 Marlin, with a stiff load of 4227.
Lots of good cast and gas checked bullets out there now too.
I’m not a fan of the Gucci, poly tipped bullets in lever guns..... but that’s just me.
