In need of a few brass cases and a few .379 lead bullets to test my 1895 (non-collectable) rifle. I don’t have dies and don’t expect to buy them but have friend who will help. I have an Illinois FOID card. PM me if available. I think Illinois law allows me to buy.
Thanks, Don

I may be able to help with the lead bullets if you think bullets for a 38-55 or 375 Winchester (265-280gr) will work. I have a .379 sizer that is actually between .378 and .379 so may not be very accurate in your rifle. Can’t help you on the cases, have you tried Buffalo Arms? May ask forum member 426Crown, he loads for the 1886 cartridges but I don’t believe he loads for the 38-72. He may have some valuable hints, though.
