IDK, but that is ridiculous, I'll get by just fine with my old M-94 in 38-55 shooting hard cast flat noses, bet I can load a box for 7 bucks, 265 grs hard cast at 1855 will get most anything done.

being cheap i use a cast bullet about as you described.
what i haven't done yet is that brian pearce load with 1680 i think pushing a 200grain at about 2300fps.
There is a guy over in california making those plated bullets that seem to be pretty good if not pushed too hard.
I managed to scrounge enough ammo/brass i ain't worried about it.
if i was i would be buying the starline 38.55 brass which would work unless pushed hard.
