Looking for a few .378 - .382 boolits to try in early Win 1894 .38-55

[strangwn]

I am looking for a few boolits to try in my early Winchester 1894 .38-55. The bore slugs at .381-.382, but a fire formed case indicates a chamber that may limit me to a maximum .378 boolit. I think I need to have just one or two boolits of each diameter ranging from .378 to .382, lubed or not lubed. Any boolit weight is probably OK at this point. If you can help with any portion of this, let me know what you have. I can pay or maybe trade you some pistol boolits, but don't think I have any rifle boolits. Any advice is welcome also.

I've got 29 bullets 37576 I cast from an old 38-56 Ideal tong tool twenty years ago. They weigh 250 grains, are .383" and are not sized or lubed. You can have them for the postage.

I've got a Lyman 2-Cavity Bullet Mold #375449CV 38-55 WCF (377-379 Diameter) 264 Grain Flat Nose Gas Check

I don't shoot that caliber so I don't have any sizing dies. I could cast you some but can't size them

Krag1902 and Conditor22,

Thanks for your generous offers. I would like to have those 29 37576 boolits, so Krag1902 let me know what you need for postage. I can PayPal F&F or mail you a personal check. 50target is sending me one of the Starline 38-55 2.125 cases. It will potentially help me use a fatter boolit. Conditor22, do you know what your 375449 would be as-cast?

I have a Lee 379-255-RFN and a NOE 379-235-RFN mold. I'm not sure of the as cast diameter as I run them thru a 379 Lee sizer die to shoot out of a Chiappa mini sharps in 38-55. I Can measure them or send you some sized if you would like. Just PM if interested
