Aguila 38 Special 130gr FMJ Ammo - 50 Rounds Target Range

The Aguila 1E382521 delivers consistent accuracy and reliable performance for 38 Special shooters demanding quality range ammunition. This full metal jacket load combines proven ballistics with clean-burning powder for extended practice sessions without excessive fouling.

What Makes This Different

Aguila's 130-grain FMJ projectile sits in the sweet spot between light target loads and heavy defensive rounds, providing manageable recoil with sufficient mass for consistent cycling. The brass cases feature uniform wall thickness and primer pockets sized to exact specifications, ensuring reliable ignition across temperature ranges. Unlike budget ammunition that sacrifices consistency for price, this load maintains velocity spreads under 50 fps standard deviation.

Key Features

• 130-grain full metal jacket bullet optimized for target accuracy
• Clean-burning powder reduces barrel fouling and extends cleaning intervals
• Reloadable brass cases with consistent wall thickness
• Boxer primers for reliable ignition in all weather conditions
• Velocity of approximately 800 fps from 4-inch barrel
• 50 rounds per box, 20 boxes per case (1,000 total rounds)
• Compatible with all 38 Special and 357 Magnum firearms

Range testing shows consistent groupings at 25 yards with minimal point-of-impact shift between boxes. The moderate velocity makes this load suitable for steel challenge competition, bullseye shooting, and general marksmanship training. Ejected cases show minimal expansion and uniform firing pin strikes, indicating proper pressure levels that won't stress older revolvers or cause extraction issues.
