Gun Sam has done some very interesting ballistics testing of his version of the old "Super Police" round which is very similar but based on the 38 Special case. The original was a 200 grain LRN (.358") at about 650 fps. Dam used a 213 gr bullet initially designed for .35 Remington. Well worth looking at for comparison.

@waitingforthefall6272 ай бұрын
I'd imagine so, but I can't say for sure, since speed loaders tend to differ by both caliber and how far each round is from each other to accommodate for differences in the thickness of cylinder walls.
@Sanguivore2 ай бұрын
@@waitingforthefall627 Thank you, my friend! As far as I know, .38S&W and the .38/200 that certain Webleys use are the same round, the Webleys are just the 200 grain variant I believe, but I might be wrong. Hopefully the spacing for the cylinder is the same. Thanks again!

@@Sanguivore correct, the .38/200 was just a fancy way to specify the 200 grain bullet. This was prior to .38 spl becoming the ubiquitous ".38".

@brianross54173 ай бұрын
I would be interested in some actual ballistic tests. From what I've read, the comparable performance with the .455 cartridge came from having a different form of energy delivery on target. The 455 is a soft lead, conventionally mushrooming bullet; while the 38-200 S&W is a mariginally stable bullet that keyholes on impact. Increasing velocity makes it tumble less. Stopping power was reduces when England went to a 176 grain FMJ. Another thing i've learned recently: the British proof system used a different instrument which measeured a lower point on the pressure curve than what is common today. A simple numeric conversion of Long Tons to PSI is not accurate: apples to oranges.
@waitingforthefall6273 ай бұрын
I'm still planning on doing this testing; I'm just getting settled into a new job and am still working out when I can take off the time to do it. I didn't know about the proof system; that's great and I'll include that point in the video!

looks pretty good to me for the vintage, what year is your Lithgow (I have a 1915 Lithgow), how much did you pay and roughly what size groups does it shoot at what range if you don't mind answering those questions?
@waitingforthefall6279 ай бұрын
Thanks for answering! Mine is a 1942 and I paid around $500 after taxes, shipping, and transfer. I'm not exactly what size groups it shoots exactly, as I haven't taken it to a flat range with a bench yet, but standing and shooting off hand at 100 yards I can consistently hit a chest-sized target. I'd guess that under those conditions I'm hitting about a 4" group? I should sit down and really see how accurate it actually is. Is your Lithgow a Mk III or a Mk III*?
@sevysnape9 ай бұрын
@@waitingforthefall627 Mine has Mk III with no star, it has been sporterised and it came with a Central peep sight that I removed and then fitted a Field side mount and attached a Weaver 6X steel tube scope (they don't make those any more) It appears to have been rebarreled in the 40's probably for use in the second war with a heavy barrel (H proof mark). It has the mag cut off slot but no cut off fitted. I put a new barrel on it about 25 years ago when they were selling them here in Australia for about $80 It's no target rifle but it is a lot of fun to shoot.
