Lee Dies for .38/55

[Tubac]

Gents, I just bouight a Marlin 93 in .38/55. I use Lee Dies for almost all my reloading.
I have been told that the Lee dies are made to load .375 jacketed bullets and will not
load .380 lead bullets. Any of you fine folks have any experience with Lee 38/55 and
cast bullets?

Mine loaded   a .379 cast bullet just fine, don't see why they would not have loaded a .380    JB

I load the Big Lube™ DD-38-55 RNFP 255 grain cast bullets with my LEE Classic Turret press and LEE 38-55 dies.  Great ammo.  Shoots great.  Very accurate in my Winchester 95 "Legendary Frontiersman" commemorative rifle with too much lipstick.

Bought the gun cheep cuz it's real gaudy.  Without the medallion in the stock, the white inscription on the barrel, the roll engraving on the receiver and silver stock cap the gun would sell for a lot more.

I bought my dies back in the late 90's. Had to send them the seating die and a few bullets and a couple
pieces of brass. Now that was a few years back and I can't remember the details. That what happens when
one CRS. Anyhoo still loading with them there dies.   Regards, TJ

Gents,
Thank you for the information. It appears that the feller
was "blowin' smoke". I'll get me them Lee dies.
Thanks again.
