reddog81: It is 38 S&W, and some I have spoken to have referred to it as 38 S&W short.
I know it's not the 38 Special, also that caliber was not offered in that model.
The left side of the frame has 38 CAL stamped into it and the opposite side has the SN.

44 AMP: It's just that it almost looks like when someone shoots a slightly smaller caliber round, and the case comes out distorted, but the rounds I purchased is in the 38 S&W box from 2 different makers.

I guess it's a case of smaller dim ammo in a large SAAMI chamber.
