1000 Rounds of 158gr SJSP .38 Spl Ammo by Magtech

Target practice. Personal protection. Varmint hunting. Once you have invested in the whole case of Magtech’s 38 Special 158 grain semi-jacketed soft point ammunition, you’ll be able to do all three – or specialize in just one.

This cartridge’s bullet features an economical yet effective design. You could very well use all 1,000 rounds to stamp holes through paper. The bullets’ flat nose profiles cut out satisfyingly clean holes through bullseyes, so they make it easier to tell just how closely you’re grouping your shots.

The SJSP’s partial jacket does make it tough enough to strike soft tissue without subsequently splintering apart into fragments, which equips it for deeper penetration. The SJSP’s soft lead tip delivers the terminal deformation which inflicts greater damage to soft tissues – and even if the bullet doesn’t have enough energy to expand, its flat nose profile cuts out a more injurious wound cavity than a round nose could manage. (If your state bans hollow points for personal protection, the SJSP may be one of your best alternatives.)

The same terminal performance which suits it for self-defense also makes the SJSP appropriate for varmint hunting. It’s bullet’s flat nose profile makes this round safe to load in a lever-action rifle as well. This ammo hails from Brazil, where it receives the new brass cases and noncorrosive Boxer primers handloaders always like to see.
