Load work-up

Member Posts: 179 ✭✭✭
I have a Model 1894 Winchester in 38-55.
Bore dia. is .3795". Shoots factory jacketed loads/bullets with decent accuracy.
Am trying to find a cast bullet load that will group well.
Largest cast bullet that will chamber is .379", and groups are in the 5-6" range. Best load so far is 16 gr. of 2400. But I think that this load is too stout for the .379" bullets. Am not wanting to use GC bullets.
Was wondering if the following would be a safe load.
Use a .381" bullet, dropped in the chamber, Use a shortened cartridge case with a card over the powder. Am thinking SR4759 as a powder for this load.
