I’ve seen a Dardick for sale here in Mass before, but that’s about as close as I’ve gotten to seeing a troundTrounds is fairly special. Haven't seen one in person yet.
That question makes no sense to me.Are you specifically asking about the “special” cartridges that are shorter versions of a magnum cartridge (that may or may not have preceded them)
That question makes no sense to me.
The .28 S&W Special was a longer version of the .38 Long Colt.
The .22 Remington Special was a .22 WRF with a different bullet.
The .44 S&W Special was a longer version of the .44 Russian.
Gotcha.Im just trying to keep things a bit simpler here with more contemporary and more well known cartridges.
Gotcha.
But the .38 and .44 Specials are longer than the cartridges they replaced. They are not "shorter versions" of later magnums.
No.Are you trying to compile a list of all the “specials”?
Why would it be?So is the .380 ACP, or 9mm Kurz, a "9mm Special?"
So I understand.The .32 Winchester Special is considered to have been intended for factory loading with smokeless, reloading with black
As I understand it, the .38 was introduced as a black powder load with more capacity than the Long Colt, and the .44 originated as a smokeless cartridge. Their names differentiated them from their predecessors.One poster speculated that was what made .38 Special and .44 Special "special." They worked with either powder.
Yes, any cartridge with the word special attached to it. If it has the word special in the name or nickname, Im trying to add it to the list.This is very true and is worth mentioning so as not to mislead anyone in the future as my earlier post may have.
Once again as to the OPs original question, what again is it your asking?
Are you trying to compile a list of all the “specials”?
A buddy bought a Dardick recently, along with some Trounds. He gave me one, I have it on my bench. Interesting, to say the least.Trounds is fairly special. Haven't seen one in person yet
Then please excuse my failed attempt at humor.Yes, any cartridge with the word special attached to it. If it has the word special in the name or nickname, Im trying to add it to the list.
My wife says I'm "special", not sure if that counts or is even a good thing. lol
