In my area .38-55 factory ammo is hard to find and very, very expensive.
What's factory ammo? lol :lol:
I believe they used it during WWII when they attacked German manufacturing plants. Didn't think they had .38-55s though. Must have been some cowboys in that war too.
I got me some deer ammo, some moose ammo and some factory ammo.

What length of brass are you using when reloading for the 38-55?

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......
