Any use for this stuff outside of a 52-A?

Hi folks,

A small supply of this ammo popped up in our circle, and I was offered some because of known M52 ownership.

I passed, but it got me thinking if there was any use beyond a very scarce 52-A? I’ve seen some Colts that chambered the round as well, but is there any way to use it in the later Model 52s?

You can fire it in any revolver chambered for 38 Special or 357 magnum.

They're perfect for shooting in a J-frame. Low recoil.

The 38AMU ammo for the 52A, is a semi-rimless round. If it would extract in a 52, try it, dont know.
