I've recently acquired a couple of Winchester 94 rifles in 38-55. I plan on some occasional shooting and whitetail deer hunting with them.

i know nothing about cast bullets or loading them. I've been reading a lot lately and trying to educate myself on cast bullets and loading them.

the previous owner of one of them loaded for it, and loaded it with 28 grains 3031, 245 grain RNFP .380.

the other has shot very well with the Winchester factory ammo 255 grain jsp

im looking to purchase some commercial bullets for them 240-260 grain and i plan on loading them about 1500-to maybe 1600.

any insight or recommendation would be helpful.

Thanks in advance
