    Do you need them sized and lubed? If so what size?

    Very important to have the right size for sure, especially in this caliber which can run from .375 all the way to .383.

    Hard to help if we don't really know what you need. For instance, if I send you some of mine that are sized and lubed for my rifle and they are too small they'll likely lead like crazy. Mine are actually for my Marlin 375 Winchester and will be sized under .380". If I were to send unsized and unlubed can you size and lube?

    Mine are cast at .381. I have a .377 that I use for my rifle.If you would like them sized and lubed let me know.If you are using blackpowder I can lube for that also.

    I too am desperate for some .38/55 bullets. I have had my rifle two months and all I have been able to come up with is a handfull of this and a handfull of that. Today I shot a 60 round Match and used three different weight bullets. I would like to find someplace where I could get about 500 .377 dia. 250 gr. S.P.G. lubed, or something close. jednorris@bellsouth.net
