The Fiocchi 38CA Cowboy Action ammunition delivers authentic period-correct performance for Single Action Shooting Society competitions and vintage firearm enthusiasts. This 38 Special load features a 158-grain lead flat point bullet specifically engineered for reduced velocities and softer recoil while maintaining reliable cycling in period revolvers and lever-action rifles.
What Makes This Different
Unlike standard 38 Special loads that prioritize maximum velocity, the Fiocchi 38CA maintains velocities under 1000 fps to meet SASS power factor requirements. The lead flat point bullet design provides clean holes in paper targets for accurate scoring while generating minimal barrel leading. Fiocchi's consistent powder charges ensure uniform velocities shot after shot, critical for competitive accuracy.
