Visually, it resembles a .38 S&W but the case dimensions are slightly different. The .38 Short Colt case is the parent to the .38 Long Colt and .38 Special.. Remington is one of the few producers of this cartridge today with a 125 gr LRN bullet.
Rounds made for the Contender could utilize longer bullets seated further out than was possible with the revolvers. Some interest in the load has persisted until today (2018), due to the better ballistic performance of the 357/44 B&D compared to the .357 Remington Maximum , a straight-walled cartridge resembling the .357 Magnum , but longer.
Since the early 2000s, ammunition is available with velocities exceeding 1,400 ft/s (430 m/s). This is impressive from a semi-automatic pistol and is comparable to the .357 SIG . [ 19 ] Ammunition is also being manufactured in the modern hollowpoint style bullet with excellent ballistics for personal defense.
Example of a ballistic table for a given 7.62×51mm NATO load. Bullet drop and wind drift are shown both in mil and moa. The 7.62×51mm NATO has a 3.38 mL (52.0 gr H 2 O) cartridge case capacity. The exterior shape of the case was designed to promote reliable case feeding and extraction in bolt-action rifles and machine guns alike, under ...
The .38-44 HV load used the .38-Special cartridge loaded to a much higher velocity than standard .38-Special ammunition. The .38-44 revolvers were made by using a .44 Special size gun with the barrel bored to accept .357-caliber bullets (the true bullet diameter of the .38 Special) and the cylinder bored to accept .3801–.3809-inch-diameter (9 ...
Internal ballistics (also interior ballistics), a subfield of ballistics, is the study of the propulsion of a projectile. In guns , internal ballistics covers the time from the propellant 's ignition until the projectile exits the gun barrel . [ 1 ]
Shortly thereafter, shooters began requesting an alternative to the relatively small selection of factory ammunition, and, for sensitive shooters, the recoil of the .50 AE cartridge, but still with substantially more stopping power than the .44 Magnum.
