The PPU PPH38SH delivers proven stopping power with its 158-grain semi-wadcutter hollow point design optimized for defensive applications. This Serbian-manufactured ammunition combines traditional semi-wadcutter accuracy with hollow point expansion for reliable terminal performance in 38 Special revolvers.
What Makes This Different
The semi-wadcutter hollow point configuration provides superior tissue disruption compared to standard round nose bullets while maintaining the flat-nosed accuracy advantages of wadcutter designs. PPU's consistent powder charges and quality brass cases deliver shot-to-shot uniformity that competitive shooters and law enforcement professionals rely on. The 158-grain weight matches classic police load specifications used for decades in service revolvers.
