Frequently Asked Questions
Buy .38-55 Ammo for Sale
What is a 38-55 caliber good for?
The .38-55 Winchester is well-suited for target shooting, cowboy action competition, and hunting deer or similar medium game. It produces moderate recoil and shoots accurately at ranges under 200 yards, making it a practical choice for both recreational shooters and hunters who appreciate its 19th-century origins.
Is 38-55 ammo still made?
Yes, .38-55 Winchester is still made. Winchester never fully discontinued the cartridge and currently produces it in their Power-Point line. Black Hills, Buffalo Bore, and others manufacture it as well. It is not an obsolete cartridge, though availability is limited and it remains a specialty round.
What is the effective range of 38-55?
The .38-55 Winchester is most effective within 200 yards for hunting medium game like deer. Beyond that, bullet velocity drops significantly and expansion becomes unreliable. Skilled hunters can make accurate shots beyond 200 yards, with effective wound penetration reported up to 330 yards before noticeable drop-off occurs.
