I am not sure whether it was a 94 or not. I remember the bullets being flat on the end--not pointed.

The 38-55 is a much longer cartridge although it uses the same diameter bullets. It was good on most large game out to about 100 yards although its a bit small for moose. It was also quite popular as a paper puncher out to 200 yards because of its flat tradjectory. -Curt Date: Thu, 26 Oct 2006 08:29:09 -0500 From: "Potter, Tom E" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: [MBZ] OT - Old Rifles To: "Mercedes Discussion List" <mercedes@okiebenz.com> Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" My dad had a lever action Winchester 38-40 for a while. I remember it having an octagonal barrel, and it used a short cartridge. It was nice, but we could not use it for hunting in the lowlands of NC.
