The Hodgdon site has load data for the 38 Long Colt and the bullet used is a .358" LRN.

If I were you I would take the advice above and not shoot that gun. Do you realize how much that gun is worth especially in the condition it seems to be in in the picture you provided?

Good luck if you do decide to shoot that piece of history. I would buy a replica and shoot that instead lol.
