Default 38-55

Jet bullets is in Wetaskawin I have some .381 265gr FN GS coming today if Canada Post gets their act together.Mine is an 1894 and they all had generous groove size hence the large bullets.The groove size with the Jubilee model should be .377 not .375. Jet also makes a 250gr FN no gas check.RE#7 is the powder followed by IMR 3031. FWITSW Barnes makes 255gr Jacketed.Gun shows also can be good as I've picked up old CIL and Barnes there.Do you have the Ken Waters Pet Loads manual? If not PM me with your mailing address and I'll send you a pile of data. You want about 2/1000" larger bullets than groove size with cast.There is also two correct OAL of brass with the 38-55 Starline makes both short and long.
