    You probably need to tell folks what DIAMETER of slug you want. 38-55 is notorious for having a variety of groove diameters....
    good luck, GJ

    My 38/55 bullets are sized to .381 and weigh 250 grains.
    It comes from a ‘new’ Lyman mold!

    Would help to know whether you're in need of boolits suitable for BP or for smokeless, too.

    I'll bet if you had known the answers, you would have specified in your original request.
    ...as a fan of 38-55 I have 7. Four have a .375 bore because they were JES rebores.
    The other three range from .376 to .382
    Perhaps if you specify what you want to load for, other owners of the same rifle can tell you what bore they have.
