The Speer 4015 delivers consistent performance for high-volume shooting with its Total Metal Jacket construction that reduces lead exposure and barrel fouling. This 38 Special ammunition features a 125-grain bullet optimized for training, competition, and practice sessions where reliability matters most.
What Makes This Different
Total Metal Jacket (TMJ) construction fully encases the lead core, including the base, providing cleaner shooting compared to traditional Full Metal Jacket rounds. The electroplated copper jacket eliminates lead vapor at the bullet base during firing. This design reduces airborne lead particles by up to 90% compared to standard lead bullets, making it ideal for indoor ranges with strict ventilation requirements.

This ammunition performs consistently across various 38 Special revolvers and carbines, maintaining accuracy standards required for competitive shooting and training protocols. The moderate recoil characteristics make it suitable for new shooters developing fundamental skills while providing experienced shooters with predictable ballistics for precision work. Indoor ranges often prefer TMJ ammunition due to reduced lead contamination and easier cleanup requirements.
