I will be at the range tomorrow tinkering with this 38-55. That will help me decide to re-line or not.
Muledeer suggested I try Dyna Tec on the bore first.

How did it shoot? I hope the RB comes today, if not Monday.


The Dyna Tec has helped with the fouling. I ran about 30 rounds thru it without any of them keyholing, but they were mild loads. Right now, I don't know if the key holing was due to excessive lead fouling or undersized bullets. I need to find some .381 diameter bullets to see if that will improve things. I will be ordering some .380's Monday. If they don't workout, I will order some not sized and have the guy powder coat them. Should bring them up to.381
