    38 Colt , 38 Short Colt, 38 Long Colt, 38S&W Short, 38 S&W long, 38 Automatic , 38 Super Automatic, 38/200 Mk II. I am sure I missed a few.

    Not a guessing game for people that want to keep their fingers attached to their hands.
    38 SuperComp, 38TJ, 38Lapua Rimless, 357 Magnum, 357 Maximum. There may be others

    Picture of revolver with barrel stampings along with above photo would help members provide an accurate answer. You may wish to lay a piece of paper over serial # or obscure it in some way before posting photo.
    I think this should be sufficient to tell if the pictured ammo should work. From what I can tell, it looks like a match.

    Yeah , I'm not a believer in that whole serial number thing but that's a different discussion .
    Better believe near quantum computers are mining the entire net for serials and images and meta data. AI will automatically take care of the rest. Anytime you upload an image or anything to the web it's compromised and likely archived for all of eternity. Modern data storage and compression tech outpaces the feed of data. To create a website that prevents this would require end to end encryption and prevent mining from the user and source side with a custom algorithm that does not have a backdoor...
