« Last post by Major E A Sterner on Yesterday at 08:50:58 PM »Slim, you don't have to tell me about grass growing, I mowed my lawn for the 3rd time this year today,The ground is finally drying up so I can do the entire lawn and about a hour after I finished it started pouring here. I'm glad I didn't put it off until tomorrow . Oh, I replaced my old riding mower with a new one, Just too old and out of shape for a push mower anymore.

The Darksider's Den / Re: How did we get these "Calibers"?
« Last post by FriscoCounty on Yesterday at 07:28:59 PM »I went through some of my old paper references. The .38 Long was introduced in 1875. It was avalable as both a heeled bullet with a 0.879 case (130 gr bullet 15 gr BP 770 fps) and as an internally lubed bullet with a 1.017" case (150 gr bullet 18 grain BP 770 fps) both with the same overall length (1.324").
The 1878 UMC catalog lists the 38 Short adapted to Colt's B.L. Police Revolver and the 38 Long adapted to Colt's Navy Revolver. Both are heeled, C.F. cartridges. The 38 short had a 0.765" case.
My guess is that only Colt produced the internally lubed bullet and UMC produced the heeled bullet, hence the differentiation between the .38 Long and .38 Long (Colt's). This would fit in with Colt and the .41 cartridge used in the Thunderer. It was rifled for the heeled cartridge, but Colt stopped production of the heeled cartridge and only produced the internally lubed version for it.
