I recently found a H&H Long 380 CF marked Rook rifle. The gun needed a little work but the price was right.
I purchased the rifle and am in the process of putting it right. The good news is it has a Great bore. I thought I might have it refined for shooting the 32-20 round but it seems a shame to do this as the bore is nice.
After giving this some more thought and doing some research online I think I would like to keep this rifle original and shoot it with some hand loads.
If I understand correctly I can use shortened 38 Special cases to make the ammunition I need. What I don’t have and am needing is some lead cast bullets sized to .376.
Does anyone know where these can be purchased? I know I could purchase a special made mold but at this point I would like to avoid a large investment until I can load and test fire this rifle.
Is there a member that cast this bullet and would be willing to sell me 100 cast bullets so I can take this rifle to the range.
I would also appreciate any hints, tips, and loads for the Long 380.

If you will be shooting a bullet that large in diameter in a 38 Special based case you will need a heeled bullet. Bernie Rowles at Old West Bullet Molds makes molds for them.
