Got a customer's 38-55 die set ready today. Perfect 255 grain bullets made from scrap 223 brass with two 92 grain 32 cal cast boolits for a core. Should make for a great bullet.

BT, you are my hero!!!! I feel like a giddy school girl on prom night. I should have pictures up in a week after I get the dies. Maybe a little longer for the shot boolits...It's pretty cold here in NY.

Machining dies this week. So far I have 64 dies ready for heat treat in various calibers. I'll be spending a few more weeks machining new dies. Got to get the 30 cal dies ready for all those on order as well as the rest of the dies everyone has on order. Things are looking good.

I'll be sure and machine a couple to send off in this batch. The results are very good with the .375 from 223rem brass. I got under 1MOA from my 375 H&H

what is a "38-55" die set is it 30 cal or 338 or?

[BT Sniper]

.3775 is the bullet size for the 38-55 set of dies I made for a customer, a little bigger then a 375

Man, even after my shoulder surgery, I wouldn't try that.

[BT Sniper]

It's a mild cartridge from what little research I have done. 265 grain bullets at roughly 1700-2000 FPS if I recall correctly. I could be off on my numbers.

Not talking about the 375 H & H then.

[BT Sniper]

nope!
