Mine shoots the .380 diameter cast the best, took alot of testing.

Have not found a good jacketed bullet yet, maybe someone else.

You would do well for yourself to use the search feature looking for posts by JPH45 and Cheatermk3, among a few others that are well experienced with the .38-55 and its loading peculiarities. :wink:
