50 Rounds of 130gr FMJ .38 Spl Ammo by Winchester Train & Defend

The .38 Special has a rich history. It was designed in 1898 by Smith and Wesson as a more powerful option than the existing .38 Long Colt. Between the 1920s and 1990s it was the standard issue caliber for law enforcement agencies across the country, giving it a 70-year run as the gun chambering of choice for police everywhere. Even when it was no longer used by departments many officers continued to carry it as their backup gun (BUG) or off-duty carry. Today the .38 Special is the best-selling revolver caliber on the market.

These .38 Special rounds are made by the legendary Winchester company which was founded in 1866 at the height of the Wild West. At 130 grain these rounds are considered medium-weight for the cartridge size. That means they’re still light enough to fly down-range at higher speeds but heavy enough to strike targets solidly. These are FMJ, Full Metal Jacket, rounds and do not expand on impact. Target rounds can travel long distances before stopping which is one reason to always have a reliable backstop in place during range time. This ammunition is meant for target practice, self-defense training, and plinking.
