It was based on an earlier cartridge called the .38-50 Ballard Everlasting that was introduced in 1876 by the <a href="/wiki/Ballard_Rifle" title="Ballard Rifle">Ballard Rifle & Cartridge Company</a>. The .38-55 Ballard was originally a Black-powder cartridge as used in Ballard and <a href="/wiki/Marlin_Firearms" title="Marlin Firearms">Marlin Firearms</a> from 1876 onwards for various <a href="/wiki/Single-shot" title="Single-shot">single-shot</a> target rifles. Their 1893 <a href="/wiki/Lever-action" class="mw-redirect" title="Lever-action">lever-action</a> rifle was also available in 38-55 using a Black-powder only barrel, or another barrel designated "Special Smokeless Steel" capable of safely using 38-55 cartridges loaded with the then relatively new and higher pressure smokeless powders. It was later offered by <a href="/wiki/Winchester_Repeating_Arms_Company" title="Winchester Repeating Arms Company">Winchester</a> in its <a href="/wiki/Winchester_Model_1894" title="Winchester Model 1894">Model 1894</a>, who usurped the name calling it the 38-55 Winchester, although it was an exact dimensional copy of the 38-55 Ballard. Winchester continued to use the round in various rifles until about 1940, and also used it in a few commemorative editions of rifles since then. In addition, Marlin offered it in some <a href="/wiki/Marlin_Model_336" title="Marlin Model 336">336s</a>, and it was used in non-lever action rifles such as the <a href="/wiki/M1885_Remington-Lee" class="mw-redirect" title="M1885 Remington-Lee">Remington-Lee</a> bolt-action.<sup id="cite_ref-Barnes2012_5-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Barnes2012-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-Cat_6-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Cat-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The .38-55 Winchester is also the parent case for the <a href="/wiki/.30-30_Winchester" title=".30-30 Winchester">.30-30 Winchester</a>, <a href="/wiki/.32_Winchester_Special" title=".32 Winchester Special">.32 Winchester Special</a>, and the <a href="/wiki/.375_Winchester" title=".375 Winchester">.375 Winchester</a> cartridges.<sup id="cite_ref-7" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>A modernized version of the cartridge debuted in 1978 as the <a href="/wiki/.375_Winchester" title=".375 Winchester">.375 Winchester</a>, designed with higher pressures and to be used in modern firearms only.
