    Many years ago I had a few shots with a friends Remington Hepburn in 38-55. Later I looked at a Martini rebarrelled to 38-55. Regrettably neither resides in my gun cupboard. Just typing this is triggering yet another attack of 38-55itis. One thing to be careful of is the groove dia of the barrel and you should check that before ordering your bullet moulds. The 38-55 was popular for target shooting in the late 1800's so a single shot with decent sights would be my pick.

    @grandpamac after my tea I will go to the gun room and release my vintage 38-55s and fan the flames of your desire into a full inferno, with some fresh images
