The .38 Short Colt (or .38 SC) was a heeled bullet cartridge intended for cartridge conversions of the .36 cal cap & ball revolvers from the American Civil War-era. Later, this cartridge was fitted with an inside-lubricated bullet in the 125–135 grain range. Remington is one of the few producers of this cartridge today with a 125grs LRN bullet. Magtech also produces this grain weight and Ten-x manufactures a 95gr load, as well as blanks. Visually, it resembles a .38 S&W but dimensions are different. The .38 SC case is the parent to .38 Long Colt and .38 Special.
