im working on getting a Pedersoli Highwall in 38-55 and all research suggest i need a .380 dia sized bullet according to Pedersoli and others.RCBS and Lyman state 377-379 drop which will not do.What are my options? is this a custom mold venture or something else.Thanks!
Accurate Mold clone of the Ideal 375166 - MOA out to 300yds and drops Rams at 500 meters. Not satisfied with a 380 base, depending on the alloy to be used - ask Tom to make it bigger. It's my Go To bullet for my HiWalls

isnt that bullet normally used for lever actions
Twist rate in the barrel is going to determine what bullets you can shoot also. A friends 38-55 pedersoli did really well with the rcbs 312 grn bullet I believe his barrel was a 14 twist. This bullet did fine on rams out to 500 yds. The lyman 335 grrn may also be a good bullet to try in your rifle. My C SHarps high wall 38-55 has a 1-12 twist McGowen on it an the 335 grn lyman performs well better is a 360 grn Nasa from old west moulds.
One thing to consider is put a want in swapping and selling for different 38-55 bullets. 25-50 bullets will give a good idea of how they perform. Test them then buy your mould accordingly.
