I have a Winchester/Miroku 1885 Traditional Hunter and a couple Marlin CB's in 38-55. I shot the 1885 at Quigly a couple years with a Seaco 300 grain bullet and 5744 powder. I have a Browning site set (globe front and vernier rear) and was able to hit the 800 yard buffalo without any trouble. I pan lube and shoot the Seaco unsized, same ammo for 1885 and Marlins works. I use Starline "long" brass... Hope this helps.
