There has been a lot of talk lately about the 38.55 cal. Didn't want to hi jack anyone else's thread so I will ask in a new thread. This bullet is what i will be using (cheaper). Lee says it casts at .379. Add a thou. for PC, and I'm at .380. I called JESS and he highly recommends sizi g to .376 - .377.
My question. Is sizing from .380 to .377 expecting a bit much?
Even if it is possible, where can I find a .377 bullet sizing die?
His barrels are 1:15 twist and recommends a 250ish grain bullet. He couldn't give me any info. as to whether or not the Lee .379-285gr. would work. What are you guy's th oughts?
I know NOE has a few mold options, but if the size is correct, then the weight is wrong, and vice versa. Plus, trying to keep the cost down.
