Anybody paper patching .375 bullets for 38-55?
« on: February 28, 2007, 02:30:17 AM »
I was just wondering if anybody is paper patching .375 jacketed or patched bullets to shoot in the 38-55.  I know there are a few custom jacketed bullets that fit the target model 38-55 bore but i was just thinking it might be nice to use a common .375 bullet if it could be "patched" to bore size.  Any experience in this group?

Have you slugged your bore?  If so, what are it's dimensions?  I'm curious since I have a 38-55 with the small chamber/oversize bore syndrome.

Mine measured .380.  I mostly shoot .379 lead with no gas check that will upset to bore size upon firing. It shoots good like it is. I only barely size the case and don't crimp the bullet.
