The Remington Performance WheelGun 38 S&W ammunition delivers consistent accuracy and reliable performance for vintage revolvers and target shooting applications. This classic cartridge features a 146-grain lead round nose bullet specifically engineered for smooth cycling in break-top and swing-out cylinder revolvers chambered in the traditional 38 Smith & Wesson caliber.
What Makes This Different
Unlike modern 38 Special ammunition, this cartridge maintains the original 38 S&W case dimensions and pressure specifications required for older firearms. The lead round nose projectile provides excellent accuracy at typical shooting distances while generating minimal barrel leading. Factory-loaded powder charges ensure consistent velocities around 685 feet per second, matching historical ballistic performance standards.
Key Features
- 146-grain lead round nose bullet for reliable feeding and accuracy

This ammunition excels in recreational shooting, collector firearm demonstration, and competitive vintage revolver matches. The moderate velocity reduces felt recoil while maintaining sufficient energy for target penetration at standard pistol ranges.
