If your going to shoot smokeless then a marlin in .375 win is an option. Older win 94 commemoratives were also made in .38/55. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Get the .38-55. I dont know why I dont already have one dammit. Uberti are excellent quality in every way. You are not obliged to shoot BP in .38-55 but I will think less of you for not. (Why not...

Pain of a calibre for BP, always cleaning the barrel, nice in nitro. I know where there’s a double trifle in this calibre, would be great set up for hunting, it’s a hammer, but using nitro in it at...

I think he wants a lever gun Copy of Model 1894 Winchester in 38-55 made by Uberti Not a 1885 rolling block "Scandi Bogan cannon"

Jt89 I'm using 222 for long range rabbit sniping and highly recommend the accuracy of the caliber. I'm out to 242m so far and am confident I'll get to 300 this year. The rifle is certainly capable of...

You can't go to far wrong with anything under 60lb especially if its clean kill. Ageing or standing is not necessary, will be tender as, without the strong taint that older animals can sometimes...

I was looking at this subject myself a few days ago and one guy on YT made a really simple observation. If a seating die has 28 threads per inch, and you do some basic maths it means that one full...

Only used the Hornady one so it’s not high end I’m not producing Fclass loads but I’ve leaned: I believe the Hornady micrometer will be specific to their brand of dies. Micrometers are useless...

Yeh, I would have tested the 3031.

200 will stableised in 1:10 so will a big fat 250 gr if you can find any. Why they chose 1:12 as std for the 308 rather than the 1:10 of the 3006 it replaced remains a mystery

Say what you like about the finish quality (and I'd probably agree) but they've got the important things right. With My gen 1, I fitted it with a new scope, measured clicks to ensure it was in the...
