ISO 38 Short Colt Ammo

[RLT620]

I located an old box (maybe 1950s ???) of 38SW. It contains 38 rounds of 145 grain lead round nose. If you determine your Colt can shoot this particular round (these are not black powder), you can have the box. That said, the box is in very good condition and would make a good keepsake to go along with your revolver. Let me know. I am in Fountain Hills - fyi

Now date the pistol and figure out if it requires black powder. If so, you don't want to be sending jacketed rounds down the tube using modern powder.

I looks to be 1913.

That is a very generous offer. I will let you know next time I’m over that way. Thanks

I can't find any literature stating that pistol is black powder only. Enjoy chooting it.

Out of curiousity, where are you at?
