The Ammo Inc 38158TMCA50 Signature delivers consistent accuracy and reliable feeding for .38 Special firearms with its precision-manufactured 158-grain total metal case design. This premium ammunition eliminates lead exposure concerns while providing clean-burning performance that reduces barrel fouling compared to traditional lead bullets.
What Makes This Different
The total metal case (TMC) construction fully encapsulates the lead core in copper plating, creating a cleaner shooting experience than standard lead round nose bullets. This design reduces lead vapor exposure at indoor ranges while maintaining the proven ballistic performance of the classic 158-grain weight. The uniform copper jacket ensures consistent feeding in both revolvers and semi-automatic pistols chambered in .38 Special.
