British .380 Centerfire Cartridge
 

Good evening gentlemen,

I have some questions concerning this mystifing cartridge :confused:

Old British revolvers and copies of the famous British Bulldog are often chambered in this .380 Centerfire... where can one find it? How close is it to the old .38 S&W in terms of dimensions and power?

I understand that the WWII .38/200 British cartridge is basically the same as .38 S&W with a 200 grain bullet but this .380 Centerfire is considerably older I believe. Any info would be appreciated!

Interesting websites! It seems that .38 Short Colt is nearly identical to the .380 CF cartridge and can interchange in most cases...
