The more the merrier, a 265 gr cast performance bullet and a hefty charge of RL-7 will put you and that 38-55 in a very good place provided you're not gonna shoot black in it.

It's a Ruger #1 so no I think it will get smokeless. It's also a fairly rare #1. A pic of it over in the .22 K Hornet thread we derailed I have some CP 260gr LFN's and also Hawk 255 flat points. Thinking H4198 since I have a few pounds.

10-4, I saw it beside your Bee but didn't know what it was, 4198 will do the deal too, I get 1844 fps in a modern 24" barreled M-94, you could get a lot more in that #1 if you wanted it.

Just cast 50 each 705 gr 50 cal and 530 gr 45 cal paper patch bullets, all that made the cut weighed within a grain and a half after weighing and sorting. Casting is great fun, will meet my bane and roll the patches on them all later this week. ;]

You need to video your paper patching, complete with audio, for us. We need a refresher in creative cursing. Ed

Back in the day, the Sharps factory hired women to paper patch bullets by hand. Hugo Borchardt finally invented a machine to do it, but bullets were patched by women by hand at Sharps for a number of years.

Absolutely agree with that hiring pool Sharpsguy, our fingers/hands were NOT built for such delicate work.

I'm thinking a .50-90 would be interesting...a .50-140 would likely be too much of a good thing
