I have an Winchester 94 in 38-55 and some old brass.The only thing I have ever run across about brass being too old was on a 38-40 that I had some ballon head cases .
As the the 38-55 there are two case lengths. 2.082 and 2.125. The shorter for the older lever guns and the longer for the single shot types,and newer chamberings.Some being the old Ballard rifles.I have some old commercial ammo in3 8-55 ,but not the original boxes sit came in. All of it 1/2 jacket flat nose soft point.Some Winchester,some Remington. At present I don't recall which it was but some of it was 2.082 and some was 2.125 long. Graff & Sons list the two lengths in their catalog.
