There are many more than two types of rifle cartridges. It could be rimfire (.22LR) and centerfire (30-30 Winchester) It could be rimmed (.303 British) or unrimmed (.308) It could be black powder or smokeless powder, straight sided or bottle necked case.
Depending on your criteria, they could be rimfire and centerfire, or straight walled vs bottlenecked. They could e rimmed, semi-rimmed, rebated, rimless or belted. There are far more than 2 types..
Ddepends entirely on which rifle- there are thousands of different cartridges, and different bullet types. Sorry-
No. Two different cartridges, they do not interchange.
The two types of cartridges used in rifles and pistols are rimfire and centerfire
Two totally different, unrelated cartridges. The 38-40 is basically a handgun cartridge, the .38-55 is a bottle necked rifle cartridge.
There is no way to give you a brief answer. ONE of my reference books on cartridges is about 2 inches thick, and THAT does not have all of them. Rifle cartridges have been as small as .17 caliber, and as large as .200 caliber. There are thousands of different rifle cartridges.
No. Two totally different cartridges, and it is HIGHLY unsafe to attempt it. No.
There are far more than 2 types of rifle cartridges. You might distinguish between rim fire and center fire, between rimmed and rimless, or straight walled and bottle necked cartridges. There are also long action and short action, target and hunting and metric and Imperial measurements.
No one answer, since there was no one Sharps Rifle. Some were single shot and used metalic cartridges, some used paper or cloth cartridges.
No. Bacause they are two different cartridges, with two different sets of dimensions, and two different pressure levels. They have nothing in common other than both being rifle cartridges with a 7 in their name.
Absolutely not! They are two totally different cartridges!
the 22 long rifle holds 11 cartridges
Stored in cool, dry areas, modern cartridges seem to have a shelf life of about 70 years.
