300 Rounds of 132gr FMJ .38 Spl Ammo by PMC

Smith & Wesson designed the .38 Special cartridge in 1898. It was created as a more powerful version of the .38 Long Colt which proved less than effective against the adrenaline-fueled charges of the Moro Warriors during the Philippine-American War. During that war the U.S. Cavalry was armed with guns chambered in .38 Long Colt and .30-40 Krag, among others. The cavalry discovered that even though the Moros were armed mostly with wooden, handmade weapons, their firearms failed to stop them. This led to a few cartridges being made one of which was the .38 Special.

This is a versatile cartridge with a rich history of military and law enforcement service. These particular .38 Special rounds are manufactured by PMC – Precision Made Cartridge. At 132 grain these are considered fairly lightweight for the cartridge size. Being lighter enables them to travel down-range at higher speeds and also keeps felt recoil down. These are FMJ, Full Metal Jacket, rounds and do not expand on impact. This ammunition is meant for target practice and plinking.
