Something about sitting in a chair out in your pasture and ringing 1 and 200 yard steel shooting off a crossed leg with a lever action rifle and Lyman receiver peep. smile

Edit to say, my bullets are sized at 380 inch, also, with the 38-55 having thinner brass [more case capacity], pressures will be lower across the board when loading high performance ammo, and lastly, with my rifle having a 15 twist, shooting the heavies is a piece of cake.

I really need to check the bore size in mine. I have a beautiful recent production '94 Deluxe Carbine. Info from Winchester is bore = .368" and grooves = .376", +/-.02". Thank you for the details.
