The 7.62x39 round is an intermediate rifle round used in rifles like the SKS and more famously in the AK-47 & its variants. The 7.62x38 (technically called the 7.62x38R) is a pistol round used almost exclusively by the M1895 Nagant revolver.
The 7.62x38 is a very distinct round with brass that extends past the bullet so that it can more effectively complete the gas seal which is a major feature of the M1895. The casing is also strait when using surplus ammo, and has a crimp at the end of recently produced ammo. Meanwhile the 7.62x39 -being a rifle round- is much thicker at the base than it is at the bullet allowing for much more powder.
These rounds are NOT interchangeable in in any way. Only because rounds are measured to the end of the brass, the 7.62x38 cartridge is near the the length of the 7.62x39. Without the extra brass the 7.62x38 is more along the lines of a 7.62x25. I hope this answers your question without being technical or talking down.
yes................revolver ammo has a rim. Semi-auto cartridges do not.

There is no difference. ACP stands for Automatic Colt Pistol.
a shotgun is pump action and a revolver "revovles" the ammo.
Nothing, two names for the same round.
There is no difference- Luger is a name that is commonly used in America and Parabelum is used in Europe, they are both 9x19.
I believe they are the same...............
While they are similar, the cartridges are not the same, with slight differences in the shoulder angle, length of neck. It is safe to fire .223 in a weapon chambered for 5.56, but 5.56 ammo in a weapon chambered for .223 may NOT be safe.
A centerfire cartridge has the primer in the middle on the bottom side of the shell, where as the rimfire is the whole bottom.
I have a 583.20 and it is a 12 ga. shotgun. So, this leads to my question, what's the difference between a 583.19 and a 583.20
None... it is the same sized bullet (.308 diameter). You have to choose the selection of bullet when reloading 30-30 ammo for the type of bullet. A pointed bullet in a tubular magazine can present a problem when the rifle recoils. The ammo is not interchangable, you must shoot the ammo that the rifle was chambered for.
9MM Luger can be Ball ammunition. Ball just means it is a jacketed round nose bellet.
