38 Long Colt 20 Rounds Ammunition Jamison 158 Grain Lead

Using a .357-inch ".38" or 9mm bullet, the .38 Long Colt was introduced by Colt as a blackpowder revolver cartridge clear back in 1875. It uses a 1.035-inch case, much longer than the .765-inch case of the .38 Short Colt, but with a 150-grain bullet at 770 fps it is a mild cartridge. Even so it was adopted in 1892 as the U.S. Army's standard revolver cartridge in the Colt 1892 New Army double-action. The .38 Long Colt remained in service until 1911, but reports from the Philippines of poor stopping power had much to do with its replacement by the .45 ACP. With low recoil the .38 Long Colt is frequently seen in cowboy action shooting, with Black Hills and Remington both offering modern loads. — Craig Boddington
