Rifle cartridge designed by the Ballard Rifle & Cartridge Company
.38-55 Winchester
The .38-55 Ballard, later called .38-55 Winchester, or in metric terms 9.6x53mmR (actually .3775 caliber), is a straight-walled centerfire rifle cartridge based on an earlier .38-50 Ballard Everlasting cartridge introduced in 1876 by the Ballard Rifle & Cartridge Company. First chambered by Ballard and Marlin Firearms, it was later offered by Winchester, who renamed it to .38-55 Winchester, as the first chambering of its Model 1894. The .38-55 Winchester was identical to the .38-55 Ballard, but was loaded with smokeless powder rather than black powder.
