Does anyone have a couple of slugs or round balls that I can use for this job?
I'll pay postage,

If you already have a .375 boolit around just hit it with a hammer to squash it out a bit then use that for a slug to drive through

We only have jacketed. Can they be used for slugging?

then take a board and drill a 3/8 inch dia hole in it and melt some lead and pore it in there's a slug

true that :smile:. The obvious sometimes eludes me.
Thanks. This is why I love this forum.

or just get a 375449 mold, a 379 sizer, some gas checks and go to shooting.
the marlin and the win 94 both like them that size.

My Win 94 likes the Lee plain based 38-55 bullet and I run it through the sizer at .379. The sizer will cost you more than the mold will.

THanks all. Have the lee on order, made a couple slugs as suggested.
Hoping to be able to shoot them unsized, we'll see. I'll look into that 375449.
