Federal AE38LF1 American Eagle 38 Special 100gr Lead Free IRT Ammo

The Federal AE38LF1 American Eagle delivers consistent performance for shooters requiring lead-free ammunition without sacrificing accuracy or reliability. This 38 Special load features Federal's proven IRT (Indoor Range Training) technology, making it ideal for ranges with strict lead restrictions while maintaining the ballistic characteristics needed for serious training.

What Makes This Different

Federal's IRT technology eliminates lead from both the primer and projectile while maintaining the same point of impact as traditional lead ammunition. The 100-grain projectile delivers consistent velocities and reliable expansion characteristics. Unlike standard lead-free alternatives that often require sight adjustments, this load maintains compatibility with existing zero settings established with conventional ammunition.

Key Features

• 100% lead-free construction meets strict indoor range requirements
• 100-grain projectile weight optimized for 38 Special ballistics
• Federal brass cases with consistent wall thickness for reliable extraction
• Non-corrosive primers ensure clean burning and reduced fouling
• Nickel-plated cases resist tarnishing and provide smooth feeding
• Manufactured to Federal's quality standards with consistent powder charges
• Compatible with all 38 Special and 357 Magnum firearms

This ammunition performs reliably across temperature ranges and delivers consistent accuracy for both training and qualification scenarios. The lead-free construction reduces airborne particulates in enclosed shooting environments while maintaining the terminal performance expected from Federal ammunition. Range officers and competitive shooters appreciate the reduced cleanup requirements and consistent brass quality for reloading applications.
