The .38-55 may be the ideal lead bullet cartridge. Out to at least 200 yards it's a good as anything out there, for white tail or elk. Same weight bullet as the .44 mag, higher velocities than .44 mag and greater cross sectional density (read: penetration).

Can never go wrong with the .38-55.  ;D

Many gun writers work just like the mainstream media... they're just out to hawk somebody's goods.

If I could only shoot one cartridge, it would be .38-55.
