If you don't plan on reloading , I would not advise getting the 38-55.....there is a reason that the Winchester factory ammo selling at a pretty high price is wimpy ! Old firearms with weaker metallurgy and actions still exist that are chambered for this cartridge ! Only some manufactures like Buffalo Bore have ammunition that is more in line with the modern actions....it is a handloader's cartridge whether your into mild cast bullet loads or hotter hunting loads period ! A 255 grain JFN bonded core bullet going out at 1950 fps is nothing to sneeze at ! Say this same load out of a 16" barrel only goes 1800 fps.......that still beats say a 180 grain .357 magnum load even at the same speed, no ?
