NEED POWDER/CHARGE HELP
« on: May 15, 2005, 03:28:38 PM »
OK men, I need your help again. I finally got all the components needed to put loads together for my new 38/55.  I have 245 gr lead bullets and cannot find any loads for that weight bullet. Does  anyone have any info on smokeless powder loads for this weight lead bullet. If it comes in unique powder I will be very happy but I'm not in the position to be picky.HELP :(

I never heard of that one, and I tried to look it up here:

To no avail. Have you thouroughly searched the web?
Wait! I found this:

Since that is a heavier bullet, I would maybe reduce it by 5% and go from there.
Ohhhh, I hate when that happens :eek:
