You'll get 50 rounds shipped fast when you order this today.

This .38 Special ammunition from Fiocchi excels in the training role, delivering solid accuracy and realistic ballistics at a low cost. A relatively "hot" standard pressure load, this ammo fires a 130 grain full metal jacket bullet at 950 feet per second, making it a good stand-in for expensive defensive cartridges.

These rounds can also be used as an inexpensive range load for .357 Magnum revolvers. However, they may not be suitable for use in all rifles with tubular magazines due to their jacketed construction.

These cartridges come in boxes of 50 and use non-corrosive Boxer primers and reloadable brass cases.

These SJSP (semi-jacketed soft point) .38 Special rounds are a prime choice for hunting or home-defense with both revolvers and lever-action rifles. Each round utilizes a heavyweight 158-grain projectile with an exposed flat nose gilding metal half jacket. This configuration allows for blunt entry, a controlled rate of expansion, and surefire weight retention which all offer great energy transfer to the internals of a threat or game animal. In addition, the flat point is safe for tubular magazine storage while the bullet's sloped ogive easily guides the round through side-gates or into cylinders.

Each bullet sits in a reloadable brass case where its base meets a second crimp, preventing the round from being pushed back under recoil and rough handling; this precludes dud-firing and catastrophic over-pressure while preserving consistent accuracy with every hammer fall. Each case hosts a measure of clean-burning powder which is igniting by a non-caustic Boxer primer that is free of mercury or corrosive oxidizers.

While historical cowboys didn't have access to the .38 Special, cowboy action shooters do! This load from Magtech is a practical and effective choice for action shooting sports due to its blend of great accuracy, reasonable cost, and low recoil.

Each round in this box of 50 fires a light 125 grain lead flat nose bullet at 919 feet per second. The bullet produces nice, clean holes in paper and plays well with steel targets used in cowboy matches.

Magtech ammo is loaded in Brazil using non-corrosive Boxer primers and brass cases. Note that due to its use of unjacketed bullets, this ammo may not be suitable for all indoor ranges.

Fiocchi target shooting ammunition is renowned for its reliable performance and high accuracy. This .38 Special ammo is no exception. It uses flat wadcutter bullets that punch clean holes in paper targets for better visibility from the firing line. Like all .38 SPL ammunition, these rounds can be safely fired in .357 Magnum revolvers as a lighter-kicking and less expensive alternative to magnum ammo.

Each cartridge in this box of 50 fires a medium weight 148 grain lead wadcutter at a muzzle velocity of 750 feet per second. This low velocity keeps recoil to a manageable level and makes fast, accurate fire easier to accomplish. Note that not all ranges (particularly indoor ones) permit the use of unjacketed ammo.

Based in Ozark, Missouri, Fiocchi of America is a division of the Italian company Fiocchi Munizioni SPA. Fiocchi was founded in 1876 and has established a solid reputation for quality and affordability. Their products are made using high quality components including non corrosive Boxer primers and reloadable brass cases.

Load up your carry revolver's cylinder with one of the greatest .38 Special loads that the U.S. law enforcement community has ever utilized! Federal crafts these rounds using a recipe referred to as the "FBI Load" which consists of reloadable brass casings fitted with non-corrosive Boxer primers, filled with +P charges, and topped by lead semi-wadcutter hollow-point (LSWCHP) projectiles. The 158 grain LSWCHP leaves the muzzle at an average of 900 feet per second while it's exposed body and hollow cavity promote reliable expansion at various distances for a total discharge of 284 foot-pounds of energy into a threat. In addition, the bullet shape leaves very clean, circular holes in targets for match and school scoring purposes.

Federal Premium is an American manufacturer that has been around for nearly a century. They are highly respected not only for the constant evolution of purpose-drive ammunition, but for maintaining the modern production of classic loads.

This .38 Special ammo is a blast from the past that takes advantage of Federal's mastery over modern components and technology. Federal's Gold Medal brand was named for their meticulous attention to detail which helped the U.S. Olympic shooting team take home gold medals on multiple occasions. As can be expected, these cartridges undergo a heavier round of quality checks to ensure consistent weights, dimensions, and burr-free casings. Each casing is made of brass, is reloadable, and is fitted with a non-corrosive Boxer primer that won't leave behind caustic residue. The casing houses a 148-grain lead wadcutter that does not present itself beyond the casing's walls.

This configuration allows for a relatively heavy bullet with a low-pressure charge which offers very manageable recoil for competitive use in revolver divisions of Bullseye or IDPA. The flattened nose of the wadcutter design helps it to cut circular holes in targets which are highly visible both near and afar; this makes scoring a breeze and can even help a shooter defeat disputes over perforation breaks, turning a "C" hit into an "A." Federal Premium has been around since 1922 and is responsible for some of the most dependable ammunition that has ever served professional competitors, far-traveling hunters, and law enforcement agencies.

If most of your training takes place indoors, then be sure to protect your health by using ammo that leaves behind less lead in your personal area. These .38 Special rounds from Winchester's WinClean brand utilize lead-free primers that won't plague your breathing space with lead vapors. Each primer is installed at the base of a reloadable brass casing where it is designed to send a reliable spit of flame to a charge of clean-burning powder.

The top of the casing is loaded with a 125-grain jacketed soft point (JSP) bullet which has its base covered by its copper jacket; this construction keeps lead from fouling the barrel which makes for less particle transfer to your hands during cleaning and shooting. The JSP bullet also flattens out nicely against hard backstops for less chance of ricocheting fragments that could travel back up range. Winchester ammunition is manufactured using knowledge and expertise that have been developed for over 150 years.

Target shooters looking for a cost-effective, accurate, and light-kicking load for their revolvers will find much to like in this .38 Special ammunition from Remington UMC.

These cartridges fire a 158 grain lead round nose bullet at 755 feet per second, producing relatively low recoil and excellent short-range performance. Note that lead nosed bullets may not be suitable for all ranges.

Remington UMC (Union Metallic Cartridge) ammo is made in the USA using reloadable brass and non-corrosive primers.

Developed by Smith & Wesson in 1898, the 38 Special was a favorite during World War One and has been in constant use till the present day, whether it be military, law enforcement, or civilian use or a combination. With its fantastic self defense capacity and its low recoil, it makes for an ideal round for those with weaker hands. With this amazing round, you can keep your family safe and train at the range without worrying about the massive recoil that comes with some other rounds.

With their deliberately low cost yet top notch and highly innovative ammunition, Magtech has found themselves at the top of the ammunition world, making some of the best and most affordable ammo on the market. With these 158 grain, semi jacketed soft point, boxer primed, brass cased rounds, firing at 744 feet per second, you have everything you need for an excellent range round. When you experience the accuracy and reliability of these inexpensive rounds, you will understand why Magtech is so highly praised.

Put your name at the top of the revolver division chart of your next match with these Wadcutter loads from Federal's Gold Medal Match line. Gold Medal Match ammo uses proven configurations with diehard components and optimizes their value with stringent inspection methods. As such, each of these .38 Special cartridges is made using a clean-igniting Boxer primer fitted to a reloadable brass casing that bears a 148-grain bare lead wadcutter; as a classic wadcutter load, the bullet does not extend upon the rim of the brass casing and has a rather flat nose.

This shape creates clean, circular holes in paper and cardboard targets that may save you from scoring scrutiny in IDPA or USPSA. The 148-grain weight is a traditional choice for Bullseye style shooting and combines efforts with carefully measured powder charge in order to lend the .38 caliber very soft-shooting recoil. Due to this, shooters can expect greater precision and faster follow-up shots as they track their sights through a short arc. Federal Premium is a heavyweight name in the shooting industry that has helped some competitors attain gold medals at the Olympics, hence the name for this brand of .38 Special ammo.

Do you want 5,000 rounds of high-quality 38 Special target and competition ammo? Perfect! Just order 10 cases of Winchester Super-X Super Match! And if you don’t want quite that much, then we’re just as happy to ship a single case to your doorstep.

When you’re going hard on paper and cardboard with a thirty-eight, you really want a 148 grain lead hollow base wadcutter loaded to a muzzle velocity of 710 fps. That’s a low and slow muzzle velocity for a bullet of that weight, which means you’ll be looking at less felt recoil, less muzzle flip, and an easier time landing your follow-up shots precisely where you want them. The wadcutter’s base is slightly hollowed out, kind of like a champagne bottle’s. The hollow base promotes more accurate performance by helping the bullet align more closely with the bore axis, as well as by improving the bullet’s aerodynamic stability.

All of that overlooks the best part of a wadcutter’s performance: the clean hole it chops through its target! If you’re sick of the way round nose bullets tear up tight groups, then the wadcutter is here to make you feel all better.

Made in America. Brand new brass cases, which are reloadable. A great low-recoil, high-accuracy option for 357 Mag firearms as well!

You want the best self-defense ammo for your 38 Special or 357 Magnum revolver – or a proper load for that little lever-action varmint slayer you’ve been known to carry around the farm. You are in luck! We’ve got a case of Speer’s law enforcement grade Gold Dot ammunition, and we can put your name on it in a matter of minutes.

The Gold Dot is more than just a jacketed hollow point. Thanks to the magic of electrochemical bonding, the Gold Dot’s jacket is soundly fused to its alloyed lead core. Heavy fabric, wallboard, even sheet metal – the Gold Dot pierces all of these barriers so it can continue on and burrow deeply into its target. The Gold Dot’s hollow point is formed during two stages. The first sets the width it can expand to, while the second ensures it expands at a steady, predictable rate.

CCI primers and select propellant ensure that you’ll get a super-predictable 945 fps muzzle velocity (Speer recorded this round’s muzzle velocity with a 4” vented barrel; expect a lower muzzle velocity if you’re firing a snub nose, or a faster one if you’re firing a lever-action varmint slayer). Nickel-plated brass cases are still reloadable, but they’re also more corrosion resistant and smoother cycling than regular unplated brass.

This is +P ammunition. Do not fire it in any firearm that isn’t rated for 38 Special +P. It’s safe for all 357 Magnum firearms.

Do you prefer to carry a revolver for personal protection? Then you’re probably already a fan of the hallowed 38 Special – as well as its overpressure variant, the 38 Special +P. But if you aren’t yet acquainted with Speer Gold Dot, then it’s high time you give it a shot.

This is some of the best self-defense ammo you can choose for a 38 Special or 357 Magnum revolver (and a great pick for hunting as well). The Gold Dot jacketed hollow point wears a true bonded jacket, which Speer creates by submerging an alloyed lead core in an electrified chemical bath. In addition to possessing a uniformly thick jacket which enhances accuracy, the Gold Dot is abnormally tough – capable of conserving the vast majority of its weight if it has to rip through thick clothing or another barrier before accessing its target. And once its hollow point nose cavity connects with a soft medium, it commences exceptionally uniform terminal expansion.

Speer nestles their 125 grain Gold Dot in a nickel-plated brass case. Nickel reduces the force of friction so you can load and unload a cylinder quicker, and also shields the brass against corrosion. Nickel even makes the ammo shinier, which you might just appreciate if you ever have to find it in the dark in a hurry.

This is +P ammunition. Do not fire it in any firearm that isn’t rated for 38 Special +P. It’s safe for all 357 Magnum firearms.

Hornady didn’t load this 38 Special self-defense cartridge with just any old jacketed hollow point. That’s the eXtreme Terminal Performance – an unconventionally capitalized JHP that possesses the jacket concentricity and core uniformity requisite for pinpoint accuracy.

The XTP doesn’t merely seek out its target. It also delivers deleterious terminal ballistics inside of it thanks to its drawn gilding metal jacket. The jacket becomes thinner the closer it gets to the XTP’s rim, and the notches surrounding that rim strategically weaken the bullet even further. Even at lower velocities, the XTP remains remarkably effective.

The XTP’s jacket features the cannelure it needs to avoid setback in a revolver’s cylinder or lever-action rifle’s magazine, and also covers the nose cavity’s rim to help avert a poorly timed feeding jam. Hornady builds their American Gunner rounds with more than just high-quality bullets. These cartridges include the primo reloadable brass cases, Boxer primers and clean-burning powder that assure dependably functionality in all 357 Mag/38 Spl firearms. (900 fps muzzle velocity recorded with 4” test barrel.)
