.............. .38 Special +P 158 grain Hard Cast Polymer Coated Semi Wadcutter.....................









Friends,

I am doing a run of heavy duty, defense/hunting oriented loads for the .38 Special.

This is a +P load using a 158 grain polymer coated semi wadcutter bullet.

Brass is new Starline.









In testing velocity numbers are as follows:

Ruger Security 6" 1200 FPS
S&W Model 15 4" 1115 FPS
S&W Model 442 1&7/8ths" 1020 FPS

While chronographing this load, I had the chance to compare this 158 grain poly SWC load to some American Eagle 158 grain .357 Magnum jacketed soft point.

The American Jacketed Soft Point .357 Magnum was 10-12 FPS slower on average than this Poly Coated SWC .+P 38 Special ammo.










25 yard accuracy was excellent as well:












In testing the loads through a couple J Frame 442s (aluminum frame, steel cylinder, 5 shot guns), I found the recoil to be simply nasty.

I absolutely DO NOT recommend that these loads be fired in a J Frame sized 5 shot revolver aluminum frame chambered in .38 Special. If the gun is chambered for a .357 Magnum then you will be fine.






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




I have 8-100 round boxes ready to go.




Price includes shipping and insurance.



It is $110 for 100 rounds,$220 for 200 rounds, etc to your door.




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



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

Again I have 8-100 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.
