38-55 Components, Ammo, etc

if its a old rifle, the dia of your barrel can greatly differ! I have 3 and none of them use the same bullet
 
I know my brother has a ton of cast 255-grain flat-points, but believe they are 0.379", where if using cast you do need to know your bore diameter. Iwill sayI find most of the 38-55s out there to shoot jacketed ammo pretty good to extremely well.

I'll check my stuff later, as I think I have a spare Lee factory crimp die.

They don't have a jacketed bullet or copper the right diameter for the bigger bore 38-55 rifles. My Target Classic is .380-.381
