[QUOTE="348Winchester, post: 5537994, member: 11952"] In some ways yes and other ways no. The 30/30 case is a necked down 38/55. However the 38/55's bread and butter load is a 255 grain bullet and its diameter is .375-380. The bore diameters vary wildly in older guns. A stout loaded 38/55 throwing a 255 grain bullet about 1700-1800 fps would be more powerful. I have a load for my strong single shots that pushes a 255 grainer about 2100 fps and a 200 grainer at about 2350 fps. It would beat all hell out of the 350 Legend or the Remington 360. [/QUOTE]
