Case length for 38 S&W spec vs 45 S&W

5mmgunguy

Can anyone tell me what the case length is on the 45 S&W case...is it longer or shorter than the 38 S&W spec case?

nononsense

5mmgunguy,

.38 S&W = 0.775"

.45 S&W = 1.109"

Best.

ADDED:

O.K. then here's that length:

.38 Special = 1.155"

Best.

I think he's asking about the .38 Special rather than the .38 S&W.

Yes it was a comparison between the 38 Special, which I had from my reloading book and the 45 S&W which I couldn't find anywhere. Thanks!!
