Attachment 228486 Anyone use this boolit for their 38-55?
I use the 38-250D personally and think it is great.
I agree, I have a 285 grain bullet that is very similar and it shoots great. I was wanting a lighter bullet to try.Attachment 228498Attachment 228499Attachment 228500Quote:

gascheck boolit proly originally intended for the 375 Big Bore winchester - I have a similar one from CBE . Like the others I use a 250 gr in my 38/55 (LEE mold)
Be aware that the 375 Winchester bullets have a longer nose than 38-55 bullets and when loaded in the long 38-55 cases they will not cycle through the action well. You can deep seat them but have to watch for pressure spikes and crimping issues.
FYI
I didnt measure it but the nose on that acurate boolit drawing looked long to me -- sold my 375 BB ages ago - had correct length cases for it so encountered no problems. Still have some gas checks and the moldQuote:

Can load much hotter but can’t see why I would. This bullet will be a deer slayer supreme. For moose I’ll stick with the 375499. Shooting a new Miroku Winchester Sporter. This thing is great, every mould I have tried has shot great.

Goshawk,
What model is your new Miroku?
94 or High Wall?
Thx
Edit: Well duh, this is the Lever Action forum, must be a 94..
Didn't know they made a Miroku 94 in 38-55..
