    No. Some of my old brass dates back to 1987 - 1990s and may have been fired and loaded 3 or 4 times by a mate of mine way back then. Yes, some have split up near the neck. That's to be expected. ...

    The heathens! GPM. Seriously their data was almost as old as the cartridge and none of it pressure tested. Having searched for a bit for any data for the .30 US Army a lot of it is conflicting so I...

    I had a pre-64 1894 Carbine in .32-40 for a while, shot smokeless jacketed loads in it, and I also used blackpowder and soft lead loads too.

    grandpamac, I have a citadel martini rebarrelled in 38/55 with a Tony Hawkins barrel, I'm not allowed to use it in open sights competitions at my local club anymore, it's too accurate.

    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
