I got bullets from Montana Bullet works. His bullets are outstanding. I also used the short brass only because thats what I already had. I also had good luck with Reloader 7 around 26 grains if Im not mistakin. Im not at home right now so I cant look for sure. Plinkin loads I was using 5744 with a 245 or 255 gr cast. About 19 to 20 grains. The Reloader 7 load would be a gas check bullet and a hunting load. I love 38-55 and its like 41 mag it doesnt get much respect.

A 38-55 lever gun is what I wanted when I bought my Marlin .375 but no one was making one then. I still have the .375, lots of brass , a bullet mould, reloading dies and a box and a half of 220 jacketed slugs.

I wish Henry would do one in the Single Shot but I know its more important to smooch the hiny of these straight wall hunting States

I emailed Henry first before I purchased the 024 38-55 lever action and asked if they were going to make a 38-55win in a single shot rifle anytime soon and there response was "no".

I really like my Henry 38-55. Is accurate up to 100 yards using IMR 4227 and starline short brass. Past 100 yards it is pretty rough going using the buckhorn sights.

If they'd make one with the octagon barrel and a case colored receiver, I could get interested.
Or a single shot, what would be really cool would be an octagon barreled SS.
