.38-55.

[Oldschool shooter]

I have a beat up Sears lever action .30-30. It is a Winchester 94 with Sears name on it. Bought a barrel in .38-55 to convert it. Where can I get jacketed factory ammo with .377 dia. Bullets, or will I have to reload for this? Thanks.

The .38-55 is one of those cartridges that must be handloaded to get anything out of. It's best with cast bullets.

Buddy of mine is really getting into 38-55.

He has 3 rifles so far.

He reloads for it exclusively.

Thanks. Sounds like reloading is the best toute to go. Thanks for the tip on Vollmer bullets.
