The Remington Performance WheelGun 38 Special ammunition delivers consistent accuracy and reliable performance for revolver shooters. This 158-grain lead round nose cartridge provides the traditional weight and profile that 38 Special revolvers were designed to handle optimally.
What Makes This Different
Remington's Performance WheelGun line features precision-manufactured lead round nose bullets that maintain their shape through the forcing cone and barrel. The 158-grain weight matches the original military specification for 38 Special, providing proper timing and ejection in vintage and modern revolvers alike. Each cartridge uses clean-burning powder that reduces fouling compared to standard target loads.
