Barnes Original 38-55 WCF (377 Diameter) Bullets 255 Grain Flat Nose with Cannelure Box of 50

Overview

Barnes Original .38-55 WCF bullets are 255-grain, flat-nose projectiles with a .377-inch diameter. These bullets were the first custom components of their kind produced by pressure-forming pure copper tubing around a solid lead core, a design introduced in 1939 that remains popular for its reliability in both historical and modern firearms. When impacting a target, these bullets are designed to expand up to 200 percent of their original diameter while retaining a significant portion of their initial weight. Featuring a cannelure for secure seating, these bullets are packaged in a 50-count box and are compatible with standard .38-55 WCF reloading dies, making them a preferred choice for hunters and enthusiasts using rifles like the Winchester or Sharps.
