Ammo Questions
I'm the rookie with both 1903 colt hammer 38 auto and 1903 colt hammerless 32.
What's the difference between 38 short colt and 38 auto?
How about the difference between 32 ACP and 32 short colt?

in a SW model 31 revolver. Can you safely shoot 32 SW short being that it shoots 32 SW long? Is it like 38special through 357mag?

Any one know prices on 32 rim fire ammo. I have 6 rounds of 32 rim fire long, and 3 rounds of 32 rim fire short that I need to sell.0 -
The 50 rounds headstamped F C would mean Federal Cartridge and the numbers I'm going to presume are the date of mfg. Just match them up to a cartridge marked 38 special to be certain if they are 38 specials.
The Ruger Security Six should be able to handle those loads alright, I had one years ago and shot some thru it with no problems that I saw.
The other cartridges are wad-cutters, used mostly for target shooting.

Yup
The "cartridges with no bullets..." - they sound like Wad-Cutters allrighty.
The front of the bullet, the shape they make in the casing would be a thin sort of ring if it's WadCutters - which gives excellent holes in paper-targets.
The practise-rounds i'm thinking about - had the bullet down in the casing so it wouldn't stick up.
Then it had a hole shaped like a " U " or something - they also made a mess of water-melon's or anything juicy like that.
Would 'spect a burglar's insides would be like a blender ran straight through him with those rounds. =o)
Happy practising/hunting
