38 Special Ammo

5 products in stock

A revolver staple for well over a century, the 38 Special is still loaded for target shooting, practice and small-frame revolvers. The bullet is actually .357 inch in diameter, the same as the 357 Magnum, which is a lengthened version of the same design. The listings here cover three distinct bullet styles and weights.

Winchester White Box offers 130 grain FMJ in bulk, Magtech has a 158 grain semi-wadcutter, and Speer Gold Dot Short Barrel is a 135 grain +P bonded jacketed hollow point. Boxes and bulk packs are both available.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I fire 38 Special in a 357 Magnum revolver?

Yes, 357 Magnum revolvers accept 38 Special. The reverse is never safe, because 357 Magnum cartridges are longer and higher pressure.

What does +P mean?

+P marks a load made to a higher maximum pressure than standard. Use it only in revolvers rated for it by the manufacturer.

What is a semi-wadcutter bullet?

A semi-wadcutter is a lead bullet with a flat nose and a sloped shoulder, a traditional design for target and practice revolver loads.
