Chambered in 38-55. Montana Vintage Arms Model B scope 5X with Unertl type mounts. Green River heavy octagon hand lapped barrel. Single set rigger.
For some time I have used a Marlin 336CB in 38-55 competing in our Buffalo Shoot competition. Couldn't get the Marlin to group less than 2" at 100 yards 5 shots. So I decided life is a little short.
Casting a 310 gr tapered bullet that will go with the 1:15 twist used in custom 38-55s. 1:18 is the normal twist rate. Probably use Swiss or Ol Eynsford FFg.
I don't see very many (any?) of these type of rifles here. Do any of you load and compete with a rifle like this.
