The Sellier & Bellot SB38L delivers consistent performance with traditional 158-grain lead flat nose projectiles designed for reliable feeding and expansion. This Czech-manufactured ammunition provides shooters with cost-effective training rounds that maintain accuracy standards expected from premium European ammunition manufacturers.
What Makes This Different
Sellier & Bellot's 158-grain lead flat nose design offers superior weight retention compared to lighter hollow point alternatives, delivering consistent penetration through various barriers. The flat nose profile creates larger wound channels than standard round nose bullets while maintaining reliable feeding in revolvers and semi-automatic pistols. European manufacturing standards ensure consistent powder charges and primer ignition across every cartridge in the box.
