I got to reload and finally shoot some rounds of my 38-55 yesterday. I started out with my cast boolits from a Lyman mold that dropped at .379 & 271 gr. I applied my Ben's Red boolit lube by hand. I used 21 gr. of RS 4759 in W-W 38-55 brass, 2.082 with a COAL of 2.50 for starters. Drove over to my Dad's place where we shoot and the first shot the forearm slid forward. With all that first group had three touching @ 50 yards in 2 groups was happy and think this will work. Now I have found a Tenon, as someone here helped me find, is on order and on its way. Heading out of town again to train Soldiers for another month. When I get home later will get to fix the Frontiersman and try again!
