I finally got around to handloading for my 1894 Winchester .38-55, using 9 grains of Unique. The gun, made in 1895, is well worn so I didn't want to push it too much. I am using some Lyman 375449 gas check bullets I got from Montana Bullet, I weighed them out they're a bit heavy, 280 grains. After getting it sighted it in, I was able to get a 3 shot group at 25 yards about the size of a quarter. Since all the hunting up here is about 100 yards or under, I probably will use this as a deer load for this fall.
