I am strongly considering the purchase of one of these rifles.
Before buying, I want to round up what I need to produce ammo. I have located Redding Dies, Starline brass, and the Lee mold, but I need to know what the groove diameter runs in these rifles to choose a Lee bullet sizing kit. While these are custom I know a supplier that has these in .377",.378", and .379". Since the Lee mold is a .379", it will probably drop boolits around .380", based on past Lee mold experience.
I would appreciate hearing from anyone who has slugged a Henry .38-55 bore, what they measured, and what they sized to.
