I just bought a 38-55 rifle and want to shoot jacketed bullets with it. The original diameter of the 38-55 is .377 and all current 38 caliber bullets are .375. I just want to try some 200 grain flat nose bullets to see if they will shoot in this original gun. If you have any, I would appreciate getting a few to try…
Thanks

I am extremely pleased with the Sierra 2900s on my various .375 SOCOMs.
Accurate, fast and hard hitting.
I have only loaded ammo so no help in get you a dozen or so to test drive.
If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.

Works every time. Post up one of your kids with the pig and I will see how much mileage I can get with that. Early thanks...

375 Hornady 220s and Sierra 200 gr bullets work well in my Winchester 1885 (new mfg) but were just barely marked by the lands in my New England arms target and tumbled badly. 377Barnes and cast 378s did really fine in it.

I will take a look for some of those tomorrow. Sorry - all of the jacketed here are for the .375 H&H bear rifle @ 300 gr. +. Noticed that some good guy here may have what you need. Hope that works.
