I am getting a Winchester Highwall in 38-55.
Any load suggestions or bullets to try from experience?
It is the classic hunter model with 26" barrel and tang sight.

Thanks

Greg

What velocity are you looking for?

If you want a plinker then the Lee 250 gr and 9 grains of Unique is hard to beat. It gives around 1300 FPS. My Wife's Win high wall in 38-55 consistently produces 1-1.5" groups at 100 yds with her at the trigger.

By all means measure the chamber to be sure that you have the right length cases for it; Starline sells both lengths.

28 grains of Rel 7 behind the RCBS 250 GC works great in my Browning Traditional Hunter.
