Have gotten into working on some loads for 3 different 38-55s. My brother in Idaho would like to shoot jacketed bullets.
My questions would be, one, what size cast boolit would be needed for a PP boolit for a 38-55 . And would it be possible to paper patch a jacketed bullet to fit?
Most jackets are @ .375. Using the RCBS "Cowboy" loading dies would facilitate using the fatter bullets. I have to yet paper patch boolits, but it does interest me. I do load for the wife's 38-55 H&R Buffalo classic with black & greasers, and my 45-70 with black and greasers. The loads for my brother would be with smokeless & greasers unless I can figure out some thing with jackets.
Is this do-able ??
Thanks,
Knarley
