Lots of fun, my M336 rebored by JES gets used more than any other gun in my safe. Some of the original 38-55s can be troublesome to load for since groove diameter varied quite a bit. Cast bullets are the way to go, once you've got a throat casting to see what size to use. Loaded light, 10 gr either Unique or Universal, it is a great practice/plinking round. Heavier hunting loads, 4198 or even heavier with 3031, get the job done well out to reasonable iron sight ranges. Starline makes brass in two lengths, I use the 2.082" with complete satisfaction.
