.38 Short Colt Ammo Prices

Even older and milder than the Long Colt this 1875 blackpowder cartridge is a genuine antique that somehow still gets made in tiny quantities for the people keeping the old iron running. It is about as gentle as a centerfire gets and it exists today purely as a service to history. A polite little ghost of the frontier.

The load runs a light 125 to 130 grain lead bullet in the rare offerings that survive. Genuinely scarce and priced like the curiosity it is. The antique revolver crowd and the cowboy action shooters buy it whenever the rare boxes appear.
