Mold for 38/55

[Jim Miller]

Need help and advice,

Two of my 38/55 rifles have bores of .380" so need a mold for .382" around 250grn. Is there such a mold or do I have to get one made? If so where do I get one made?

Accurate molds is THE place. You might want to do a chamber cast also to make sure you can chamber a round with this dia. boolit. A common problem. Buffalo Arms makes the expander you will need.

I am fortunate to have a couple of rifles in .38-55... a great calibre, indeed! I have/use Lyman (2-cavity) 375-248. It is a .38-55 WCF 249 gr Flat Nose GC mould which is sized/lubed (I use Lyman Orange Magic) with a #449 top punch. I do not know of the present availability of this mould... but it is what I have used.
