The Winchester Q4196 USA 38 Special ammunition delivers consistent performance with traditional lead round nose projectiles designed for target shooting and training applications. This economical ammunition maintains Winchester's reputation for reliable ignition and consistent velocities across temperature ranges.
What Makes This Different
Winchester's USA line focuses on delivering dependable performance at an accessible price point. The 150-grain lead round nose bullet provides excellent accuracy for target work while generating manageable recoil. Unlike hollow point designs, the round nose profile feeds smoothly in all cylinder types and creates clean entry holes in paper targets for precise scoring.
Key Features
- 150-grain lead round nose bullet optimized for target accuracy
- Boxer-primed brass cases suitable for reloading
- Consistent powder charges for uniform velocities
- 20 rounds per box, 10 boxes per case (200 total rounds)
- Compatible with all .38 Special firearms and .357 Magnum chambers

Range sessions benefit from the consistent point of impact this ammunition provides. The 150-grain weight offers a balance between velocity and energy retention, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor shooting. Lead round nose bullets excel in revolvers with varying barrel lengths, from 2-inch snubnose models to 6-inch target guns. The soft lead construction engages rifling effectively for stable flight characteristics.
