    Question .38-55 Hollow Base Mold?

    Is there a maker of a .38-55 boolit mold with a hollow base?

    Welcome to the forum .41.

    There may well be, but I have never heard or seen one.

    Depending on what rifle you'd be casting for, a hollow base may not work. When pressures start to get much above the black powder range hollow bases cas start to blow off, which is bad juju as you might well guess.
