With all the research I have done on the 38-55, I have never heard of or have seen one with such a large groove measurement. It is not uncommon to see a .381. My 336 slugs at .379. I agree with Chill...

Who is "DUO" inside emblem on barrel?

"A throating reamer would have done nothing to alleviate a problem caused by brass being too thick at the mouth for a large bullet. Throating begins beyond the mouth of the case. I reiterate: Do a...

Texas by God,
For about two years I tried so many combinations of bullets, powder (including black) and the many ways to set up brass that my note book runeth over. Sized, not sized, full sized ,...

Well, the whole problem of lousy accuracy came from the owner "fixing" the problem with a throat reamer. Back when, Marlin made the throat so that a barrel that slugged .379-.381 could not be used...

I asked this question over on ASSRA and was convinced by Westerner that I should not renew my membership.
The 336 has been "fixed" by someone who thought you had to throat the chamber because .380s...

Barrel drilled and tapped and attached.

Well, 3.5 of 4227, a caseful of Goex compressed about 3/8" was a dismal failure. And I mean dismal.
Interestingly enough, I reseated some bullets that were loaded very long. Put them down to the...

There is a sweet spot. 2 1/2" @ 100 is rather bland. I want less than 2" consistently and I am willing to put some effort into the mix to achieve it. I want to surprise some people with an ol' lever...

hmmmm.

Ever had an epiphany? I am reading some statements from shooters and it occurs to me that the terms used is wrong and/or confusing. Past the term thing, it occurred to me that I am using a .380...

The SSAMI chamber for the 38-55 sucks. Especially bad in a Marlin 336.

This is an ongoing process that has been months in the making. Spent a lot of time on Marlinowners and learned a lot. Before and after that I did spend a lot of hours working on the Marlin. In...

I have been researching duplex loads for medium range shooting. I have discussed the procedure with other shooters. I believe I understand what all is need except compression. Straight up question. ...

Where would I get an expander to open the neck of a 38-55 case to a desired ID? Not just the mouth but the length of the neck. Don't need it that long. Just want to make sure I am communicating the...

Fellas, I am entertaining the idea to build a rifle. While I am concerned about money, I want to know I am putting together a very accurate rifle. I want to build a 32-40. I will probably use a...
