Winchester 38 Special 125gr JHP Bullets - 500ct Reloading Components

The Winchester WB38HP125D delivers precision-manufactured jacketed hollow point bullets specifically engineered for 38 Special reloading applications. These 125-grain projectiles feature controlled expansion technology and consistent weight distribution for reliable terminal performance across diverse shooting scenarios.

What Makes This Different

Winchester's jacketed hollow point design incorporates a pre-scored jacket that ensures predictable expansion while maintaining structural integrity. The 125-grain weight provides optimal velocity-to-energy ratios in 38 Special cartridges, delivering flatter trajectories than heavier bullets while maintaining sufficient mass for effective energy transfer. Manufacturing tolerances held to ±0.5 grains ensure consistent ballistic performance shot after shot.

Key Features

• 125-grain jacketed hollow point construction for controlled expansion
• Pre-scored jacket design ensures reliable mushrooming at impact velocities
• Copper-plated jacket reduces barrel fouling and extends barrel life
• Consistent weight sorting within ±0.5 grains for precision accuracy
• 500-bullet bulk packaging reduces per-round cost for volume reloaders
• Compatible with standard 38 Special and 357 Magnum case dimensions
• Optimized for velocities between 800-1,200 fps in typical barrel lengths

These bullets excel in personal defense applications where rapid expansion and energy transfer are priorities. The 125-grain weight achieves muzzle velocities around 950 fps from 4-inch barrels, generating approximately 250 foot-pounds of energy. Law enforcement agencies favor this weight for duty ammunition due to reduced over-penetration risks in urban environments while maintaining sufficient penetration depth through barriers.
