Vast experience on Shiloh board.

I buy most of my cast .38-55 and .40-65 bullets from Montana Bullet Works.

Get dies and load your own, even with nitro.

ETA. Jacketed bullets won't hurt the barrel, it will just be a cleaning chore to get the copper out for best accuracy from cast. Badger recommended break in with jacketed.
