Wow Hobie that is exactly what I use in my 38-55 loads. Works great and is very accurate.
Mine are 2.501 OAL, 260grain .378dia LFNGC Cast performance bullets. 28 Grains IMR 3031.
Works great in my guns. :D

I use that same bullet, the 260gr LFNGC, as my hunting bullet of choice. The only difference is that I fuel it with 30.0gr of H-4198. It is accurate as well as deadly....... :mrgreen:

All the usual warnings apply.......
