Hoss Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assassin Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Jack, SASS #20451 Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 Like Assassin says, check bore diameter. Also is this for a lever gun or a single shot?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colorado Coffinmaker Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 Really really simple recipes . . . Pick your bullet weight, then APP to the Base of the bullet, crimp it and go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
