My 38-55 barrel slugged at .377 diameter. What diameter bullet mould and sizer should I get? My rifle is a Winchester 94 built in 1979. Also, I’m new to the casting thing and trying to get it all figured out. Thanks

You should be ok with the common . 379 molds and sizers.

Size the bullets to .379? Thanks for your help.

379 works for me for both 38 55 and 375 Winchester.

As long as your chamber will accept a round loaded with a bullet that size...

.380" shoots well in the Uberti Hi-Wall

You may not need to size at all.

Thanks, I’m waiting on my dies to show up right now. A good friend gave me some .379 cast bullets because they wouldn’t work in his rifle. Once the dies arrive, I will load one and how it chambers.
