I've read about this problem and for the life of me can't understand why it would be so hard to standardize it...especially , in the limited production modern rifles ( which maybe they've done ) ! Anyway , I'm still debating whether to get a rifle in this caliber even though I have three 45-70 caliber rifles that fill the straight cased cartridge that flings heavy bullets in a rainbow trajectory , already !

I really don't see an ample supply of even reloading components being produced for the 38-55 and forget about limited factory ammo at magnum prices !
