Excellent data carguychris! Only thing I would add about the .38 Long-Colt, to avoid confusion...the bullet is .357 dia. BUT..the bore is nominal .360" groove dia. This was the reason the bullets were hollow-based..to obturate up into rifling grooves. (originally the Long-Colt was "heel-based" & outside lubed, like the Short Colt).
