I use the 38-250D personally and think it is great.
Make no mistake -- They will remember how easily you surrendered your rights.
I agree, I have a 285 grain bullet that is very similar and it shoots great. I was wanting a lighter bullet to try.Attachment 228498
I also have the Lee 375-250 rf which is similar to the 38-250 D and it shoots great also. Was just looking for a bullet in the 220 grain class.
gascheck boolit proly originally intended for the 375 Big Bore winchester - I have a similar one from CBE . Like the others I use a 250 gr in my 38/55 (LEE mold)
Be aware that the 375 Winchester bullets have a longer nose than 38-55 bullets and when loaded in the long 38-55 cases they will not cycle through the action well. You can deep seat them but have to watch for pressure spikes and crimping issues.
FYI
Cast some bullets, amazing how accurate this Accurate mould is. They all came out between 215-216 grains with check and lube. COWW+2% tin. Got 2000 fps with RL -7 easy and accurate. Can load much hotter but can’t see why I would. This bullet will be a deer slayer supreme. For moose I’ll stick with the 375499. Shooting a new Miroku Winchester Sporter. This thing is great, every mould I have tried has shot great.

Goshawk,
What model is your new Miroku?
94 or High Wall?
Thx
Edit: Well duh, this is the Lever Action forum, must be a 94..
Didn't know they made a Miroku 94 in 38-55..
