I can't imagine $2.50 a shot. Does anyone still make jacketed bullets for it?
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.
I first encame envolved with a 38.55 buying one of those winchest commemoratives the legendary plainsman. loading some barnes bullets we were hitting offhand clay pigon targets at over 100 yards.
lot of people dont realize circa 1900 this was considered a target match caliber. I have kind of fallen in love with a marlin in 375.
i do have a slug kit to measure the bore on a turn of the century winchester takedown 38.55. have had it for years but never shot it.
I found a .30/30 piece of brass in the stuff the gun was with. no shoulder on it straight wall. think he was trying to make 38.55ammo out of it.
I think of it as the 45/70 light.
