jporter12 Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 Let's see... Simple math, 3/8=.375 So yeah, .38, .380. 9mm is just a bit smaller at .354 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flounder Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 Depends... what is the length? By that I mean does it appear to be a pistol bullet or rifle bullet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tpoppa Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 A .38 slug is not .38 inches. It's almost identical to a .357, which is .357 inches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myhondas Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 (edited) I believe that a 40 cal. is .389-/.40 dia." which is about as close to .375 as a 38 cal. which is .357 Edited February 21, 2011 by myhondas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dugan n rita Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 Well casper, I am no expert, but there are a bunch of strange ones out there, bullets that is. In pistol in a roughly way of speakin, that may be anythang from a 38 to a 10mm, and in rifle it go even longer as in a 338-06 to a 35 whelen, or even358 shooting times alaskan and lets not forget the 38-55 winchester. So that gives ya maybe a place to start. Good Luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kawi kid Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 Josh beat me to it. I could prob sit down and take my reloading book and go through about 500 pages of rounds lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReconRat Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 (edited) There are two. .375 H&H Magnum (.375") and .38-55 Winchester (.376").Neither is handgun, but the .38-55 Winchester can be a stubby flat top for tube feed type rifles.Both are odd rounds to run into. Unless it's 100 years old and dug out of the yard...edit: those would be big and heavy. Heavier than a 230gr 45acp.Winchester is the only current source of .38-55, and it's made in soft point, not a flat tip.Oops, I take that back. Buffalo Bore has a flat top round for this. And the Winchester isn't too darn pointy, it's a tube feed round also.http://media.midwayusa.com/productimages/large/278/278170.jpg Edited February 22, 2011 by ReconRat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tpoppa Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 I had a chance to fire a 375 H&H Magnum once. It took a nice chunk out of a 45lb plate at 50 yds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
