Armscor 38 Special 158gr Lead Round Nose Ammo - 50 Rounds

The Armscor FAC385N delivers consistent performance for 38 Special firearms with its traditional 158-grain lead round nose flat point design. This ammunition provides reliable feeding and expansion characteristics that have made it a standard choice for revolvers and carbines chambered in 38 Special.

What Makes This Different

The lead round nose flat point bullet design combines the feeding reliability of a round nose with the enhanced terminal performance of a flat point. At 158 grains, this load matches the traditional weight that 38 Special was originally designed around, providing optimal pressure curves and accuracy in most firearms. The flat point design creates a larger wound channel compared to standard round nose bullets while maintaining the smooth feeding characteristics essential for reliable function.
