Hello I looking for reloading information for this cartrige
I believe it's a short 38 super case.
Lead projectile.
Does anyone know about this?
I am going to try to find some or make some.

The .38 ACP, aka Colt .38 Rimless, Smokeless uses the standard .38 Super case, but is loaded to lower pressure 20,000 psi max. for the Colt 1900 and 1902 autoloaders. Use 120 grain Lyman #356242 with 4 grains of Bullseye, 4.5 grains of 231 or 5 grains of Unique for 1050 fps. DO NOT EXCEED!

The ENEMY is listening.
HE wants to know what YOU know.
Keep it to yourself.
Greetings,
Are you thinking of the 380 Auto?
Cheers,
Dave
I have a Colt Model 1903 Pocket Hammer in .38 ACP. I load using 3.2 grs Bullseye under a .356 RN bullet.
I use 38 Super dies and .38 Super brass.
**Never use modern .38 Super or Winchester 9x23 ammo (or reload data).
.38 ACP can also be used in my Astra 400 that normally uses 9mm Largo ammo.
The Colt 1903 gun does not have a safety or slide lock.
Thank you.
