Magtech - Lead Round Nose - 158 Grain 38 Special Ammo - 1000 Rounds

Magtech's 158 grain lead round nose bullet loaded into this 38 special ammo brings a muzzle velocity of 750 feet per second with 200 foot pounds of energy. It is an easy shooting round well suited for target practice as well as single action shooting competitions where its reduced recoil will not negatively impact your shooting timed score.

Magtech has been a growing presence on the US shooting scene in both training and defensive ammunition since 1990. Shooters find consistent reliability in the product as well as extended value in the reloadability of the brass cases with boxer primers. This 1000 round lot is perfect for stocking up your range bags or just keeping on hand. It comes in a bulk pack from Magtech. Inside you'll find 20 boxes of ammo with fifty rounds in each individual box.

In the late 1800's both Smith & Wesson and Colt had a .38 caliber revolver cartridge, but neither offered the performance the US military was looking for in replacing the .45 Long Colt. In 1899 Smith introduced the .38 Special. While the .45 ACP proved shortly after to be the military's primary replacement, the Special was kept on for auxiliary use. By the 1920's most American law enforcement agencies adopted the round and it is still kept on for back ups even in an age where semi autos are ubiquitous.
