My thanks to everyone here for helping me get this far. I am restoring
an 1894 .38-55 made in 1895. It was in bad shape and has very weak rifling.
First my lee 250 gr bullets were tumbling, so i lapped the mold to
a big .381. Now i have nice round holes but 8" groups amd
wild velocity spread. I"m using straight WW"s.
Should i go softer? I have some pure lead, but what"s a good mix for this old girl
to run at 12-1300 fps? Your help and advice appreciated.
