38 SHORT COLT

The 38 Short Colt (aka 38 SC) was designed for cap and ball Colt 1851 Navy Revolvers that were converted to fire metallic cartridges. Its dimensions make the 38 Short Colt incompatible with 38 S&W loads, although it can be safely fired in 357 Magnum and 38 Special revolvers. Remington is currently the leading manufacturer of 38 Short Colt ammo, which they load with 125 grain lead round nose (LRN) target bullets.
