[QUOTE="Rancocas, post: 5235404, member: 2871"] Very nice. I have been interested in the .38-55 for a long time. A friend has a .375 Win. I think that is sort of the modern version of the .38-55. Story; Years ago a friend's mother told me a story of her younger days in the 1940's when she was employed as a cook in a Minnesota lumber camp. One day the men all either went to town or went hunting. As she did her work while alone in the camp kitchen she looked out a window and saw a good buck standing at the edge of the clearing, about 100 yards away. Bertha (that was her name) grabbed a Winchester lever action .38-55 that was kept in the kitchen, opened the window, and dropped that buck with one shot. She gutted the deer, but waited for some of the men to return so they could drag it back and finish the processing. [/QUOTE]
