Thanks John
What book are you referring to as loads for the 38/50 RB? That suggests you can use the same loads for as the 38/55 ?
Not Waters Pet loads was it?
I'm not really up on Black Powder.

That wasn't the point, what I was asking was can the punch be used with all FN bullets. not just the accurate mold for my 38/55
