375 Atomic conversion with new grips and front sight:  After 13 years of shooting the round with countless bullet designs & weights, I've finally settled on one. Pictured left is Leadhead's 245 grain slug for the 38-55. I lathe turned the nose to form more of a WFN. The result is a 228 grain flat nose:  -Lee www.singleactions.com |

Are you going to make a mould for that bullet ? As long as Leadheads continues to cast their 245, I'll probably just lathe cut the noses. I can knock out a few hundred in short order. -Lee www.singleactions.com |

Could you give me a connection for "Leadhead", I'm way over here in Ohio and not familiar with him, like the bullet style very much.
