Well everyone was right. My 38-55 wouldn't eject or extract Winchester fired brass. I thought about a lot of the suggestions in the FAQ's and decided to ream it out to.400. I e-mailed 4D reamers and Fred answered very quick. Gave me instructions on how to do it right then. I ordered the reamer on Wednesday and I had the reamer on Friday. Great customer service.
The chamber cleaned up great, smoother than the factory. Today I went to the range to test everything out. The cases ejected great and I shot about one and a half inch groups at 50 yards. I was using the Oregan Trail 240 grain lead bullet and XMR 5744 powder. The only bad about this site and Handi's is they are addicting. I stopped at the local gunshop on the way home and just glancing around I spotted what looked like a short Buffalo Classic. Well it was a Classic Carbine in 45 Colt. I ended up with the carbine for 270.00 out the door. All in all it was a good day. Mike
