38-55


Ferly

Recommended Posts

For my HiWall I like a 265 grn Bullet with 10.0 unique. If I need a bit more knockdown I use a 310 grn Bullet, still 10.0 Unique. But not quite as accurate. 
 

for lever guns I use a 245 or 255 grn Bullet with 9.6 Unique.

Highwall = 1130 fps

Most important is to slug your barrel and get a properly sized bullet.

Need to figure out your bore size before loading a bunch of rounds. 38-55 can vary from .375 up to .381 and I've heard of even more variations.
