The Magtech 38U Cowboy Action ammunition delivers authentic period-correct performance for competitive cowboy action shooting and vintage firearm enthusiasts. This .38 Special cartridge features a 125-grain lead flat nose bullet specifically engineered to meet SASS velocity requirements while providing reliable feeding in classic revolvers and lever-action rifles.
What Makes This Different
Unlike modern jacketed hollow points, this cowboy action load uses traditional lead flat nose bullets that replicate 19th-century ballistics. The reduced velocity stays well below the 1,000 fps SASS limit, ensuring compliance in all cowboy action categories. Magtech's consistent powder charges and quality brass cases deliver shot-to-shot uniformity that competitive shooters demand for accurate stage times.
