  1. Yes I know. It is to illustrate that the cartridge dimensions do not correspond to the chamber dimensions. There are two different case lengths and both have the same head stamp. SAAMI only publishes a specification for the shorter brass. Another Gotcha is that the 357 Winchester cartridge is the same dimensions as the short 38-55 brass. However the max chamber pressure for .375 Winchester is about double that of 38-55.
  2. While I like a lot of DTC clothing their pants are something I no longer buy. The zippers do not lock when the tab is down. So over the course of a few very active hours they will unzip themselves. I prefer my pants to stay zipped by themselves.
  3. Thanks for he update. We'll continue to keep him in our thoughts and prayers.
  4. Again I ask what secure online payment service are these clubs to use and how much do they charge? Don't criticize if you don't have a workable solution. Again Paypal is a non-starter.
  5. The one year I played in band, most parents rented the instruments.
  6. That could just as easily be one day Texas.
  7. Breaking the 170 is at a minimum a SDQ.
  8. What do you mean by 'Trail Carry"? Once on the firing line, at no time can the shooter violate the 170. Firing line – From first firearm placed on the loading table until all firearms are confirmed as cleared at the unloading table. (SHB pg. 43)
  9. First there are two different chamber lengths for 38-55. 2.080" and 2.125". Second the SAAMI spec for 38-55 is strange to say the least. Note that the max bullet diameter is .377" -.003" yet the groove diameter is .379" +.002". Also notice the specification only covers the shorter brass. Now read this. https://www.starlinebrass.com/articles/loading-with-correct-38-55-winchester-cases-38-55-rifle/ This means that 38-55 chambers are all over the place. What I did with all of mine is ream the chambers with a custom cut reamer so that I could shoot properly sized bullets that I cast from a mould that was custom made to cast a bullet of the proper dimensions.. I also realize that no factory ammo will ever shoot accurately in any of my rifles.
