Dontcha just love it when a plan comes together? I usta shoot an original Stevens 44 1/2 single shot chambered for the 38-55, but I shot black powder loads. It killed deer very dead and always shot good groups. Like you say, a 38-55 can be a lotta fun. Looks like you are on the right track. Good on ya.
