The Winchester Super X .38-55 Winchester with 255 grain Power Point bullets is purpose-built for owners of classic Winchester 1894s, Marlin leveractions, and other rifles chambered in this historic cartridge. If you own a rifle in .38-55, Winchester has made finding quality factory ammunition straightforward with their time-tested Super X line.
Power Point Design and Performance
Winchester’s Power Point bullet has been a mainstay of hunting ammunition for decades, and this loading shows why. The soft lead tip initiates rapid expansion upon impact while the notched jacket controls that expansion, creating a consistent wound channel without over-expansion that might waste energy on game. The 255 grain weight is right-sized for the .38-55’s moderate velocity, generating 1320 feet per second at the muzzle with 987 foot-pounds of energy. This combination provides the accuracy the cartridge is known for at typical hunting ranges while maintaining sufficient energy for clean, ethical kills on deer and black bear in moderate-range shooting situations.
.38-55 Winchester Specifications
The .38-55 remains renowned for its accuracy, and Winchester pairs that ballistic advantage with quality brass cases that you can reload if you handload. Each round is boxer primed and non-corrosive, using standard large rifle primers. The straight-walled, rimmed design of the .38-55 makes it distinctly suited to lever-action rifles where this ammunition truly shines. Factory ammunition for this vintage caliber isn’t everywhere, so having Winchester’s consistent Super X offering available is valuable for anyone serious about shooting one of these rifles beyond the occasional range trip.
Winchester Super X .38-55 ammunition is designed for rifles originally chambered in .38-55 Winchester, including classic Winchester Model 1894s, Marlin leveraction rifles, and period replicas. Do not use this ammunition in rifles marked .375 Winchester, as that is a different, higher-pressure cartridge introduced in 1978.
The .38-55 with 255 grain Power Points is well-suited for deer and black bear hunting at moderate ranges, typically within 300 yards. The Power Point bullet design provides the controlled expansion needed for clean, ethical kills on medium-sized game in woodland and timber settings where these rifles excel.
Yes, Winchester Super X .38-55 ammunition uses reloadable brass cases with Boxer primers, making them suitable for handloaders. This is a practical benefit for anyone regularly shooting the .38-55, since factory ammunition for this vintage cartridge remains less common than modern calibers.
Winchester Power Points represent proven, traditional hunting bullet technology that has been refined over decades. The Power Point design prioritizes controlled expansion and accuracy over modern bonded-core or partition designs, appealing to hunters who value simplicity, reliability, and the time-tested track record of this classic bullet.
