Reloading the 38-56 WCF ?

[Harve Curry]

I just got a old Winchester 1886 SRC in 38-56wcf. It slugs .381" so I'd like to get bullets or a mold that is .381"- .382" diameter.
The twist is 1 in 20 so I was thinking of a bullet that's 230gr to 250 for accuracy?
Whats available and does anyone have dies , molds or brass for sale?
Anyone shoot this cartridge?
What are some favorite loads?

Buffalo Arms has most of what you will need, brass (formed from .45-70), dies, bullet mold, maybe store-bought bullets. Ought to handle a 255 grain bullet like .38-55. Meister and Laser Cast make 240 grain .380 bullets that might do.

Only easy source of smokeless load data I can think of would be in Cartridges of the World.
