[QUOTE="Old teacher, post: 845623, member: 48420"] Need advice on a different topic. I bought a 38-55 WCF yesterday, and now I cannot find anything to go with it...kind of. Redding has the dies, but bullets and brass are another matter. Every site on the net is out of stock with no backorders. Midway has a brand called Starline available, but I have no experience with Starline brass, and the fact that it appears to be the only brass available on the planet makes me suspicious. Plus, so far I have located five different lengths of cases for the caliber ranging from 2.072 to 2.125. The 2.072 is the one listed in the only one of five reloading manuals I have. To make matters worse, the manual lists the bullet at .379, but the only bullets listed in the Midway catalog are .375 and .377. So here is the list of questions:1. Is the Starline brass worth using; 2. where would I find Winchester or any other recognizable brand of brass; 3. What is the appropriate length for the case; 4. What is the correct bullet diameter; and 5. Where would I find a selection of bullets for this caliber without having to cast my own? Apparently this caliber is very popular with the cowboy action shooters, and they must keep everything bought out. Many thanks for any help. [/QUOTE]
