The CCI 3522 Blazer delivers consistent performance for 38 Special revolvers with its traditional 158-grain lead round nose design. This economical ammunition provides reliable ignition and smooth feeding across a wide range of revolver platforms.

The 158-grain lead round nose bullet matches classic 38 Special ballistics that many shooters prefer for practice sessions. CCI's non-corrosive primers ensure consistent ignition across temperature ranges, while the aluminum cases provide cost-effective shooting without sacrificing reliability.
