.38 Special +P Heavy 148 Grain Wadcutter ammo




Friends,

I have a small batch of the .38 +P Special Heavy Wadcutter ammo.

Like all the ammo sold, these are sold in 100 round increments.


I have 10-100 round boxes ready to go.



This was produced in new Starline brass and features a 148 grain full wadcutter.











For those not familiar, a little background. The short version is that the very vast majority of JHP/defense ammo will not expand out of short barreled revolvers. It also has very erratic and inconsistent penetration. For that reason many knowledgeable shooters have long carried wadcutters in their J Frames and short barreled revolvers due to the fact that they have extremely consistent performance and penetrate straight and deep.








**** These loads are safe for modern firearms in proper working condition that are rated for +P ammo. The loads were tested in multiple J Frame Model 442s (Airweights) with 1 & 7/8ths " barrels as well as larger framed .38s.

This ammunition is NOT recommend for use in Taurus titanium guns, or firearms with titanium or aluminum cylinders.

S&W J Frames such as the "Airweight" series have a steel cylinder, and this ammo functions with no issue in such revolvers. The 442 shown above has over 5,000 rounds through it, is completely serviceable.



Testing was done using Airweight 1 & 7/8ths" J frames as well as 4" and 6" guns.

Velocity is as follows:

Airweight J Frame: 820 FPS
4" K Frame: 885 FPS
6" Ruger Security 6: 950 FPS

Usually the standard factory wadcutter ammo (Big R and Big W) is in the high 600s low 700s when fired from a 2" revolver, so this will certainly do the job and penetrate deep and straight.


Price includes shipping and insurance.



It is $100 for 100 rounds, or $200 for 200 rounds to your door, which after S&I works out to about $40 per box of 50.







Post the amount you want followed with a PM, so I can keep track please.



I take Venmo, USPS Money order, or checks (once cleared by the bank). I do not take paypal.

Again I have 10-100 round boxes ready to go.



* No, I don't sell them in boxes of 20. The shipping (not to mention packaging) is so costly that it makes no sense to do so .

You have to be 21 since it is handgun ammo. Will only ship to places where legal and it is your responsibility to know your local laws. No shipping to restricted states or jurisdictions. CONUS only, and I do not ship to, MA, DC, CT, CA or other locations with restrictions.



BEFORE YOU SEND A PM, READ THE FAQS PLEASE.
