As some of you know I have started collecting commemorative Winchesters and I am going to enjoy one of my NIB commemoratives, shock horror

Well I slugged the bore a few weeks ago and it is .379 size, I know some of you here have them run in at .375.
I have tried to find projectiles down here but it is an odd size but a bloke from my local gunshop is going to cast up some .379 255gn slugs.
I was lucky enough to find a few boxes of factory Winchester 38-55 in 255gn. The only thing is it runs at .375 4 thou undersize.
Well I went to the range on Monday and fired the first 20 rounds through her. I cleaned after each shot with bore snakes and I have a couple of pics of the groups.
The Legendary Frontiersmen shot great straight from the box at 50m. It was a really winday day but at 50m she shot a great group!!

This is just the first 20 shots with the undersize factory loads so I reckon she should shoot great with some cast slugs. I noticed a lot of unburnt powder when I was ejecting cases as well, why is this? stuff factory ammo?
It was a different story at 100m where the projectiles key-holed. It was still a small spread though

I love this rifle and to be honest I think she will be my most accurate lever action

Here is a pic of the range I shoot at.

Anyway I will keep you guys informed on how it all goes. All I can say is I am really liking the 38-55...
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
