The Sellier & Bellot 38 Special 158-grain lead round nose ammunition delivers the proven ballistic foundation that has made this cartridge the standard for revolver training, range qualification, and defensive carry for over a century. Each box contains 50 rounds loaded to 997 feet per second, providing consistent velocity and predictable trajectory for shooters who demand reliability from their ammunition.
The 158-grain lead round nose bullet profile offers low velocity recoil management compared to heavier magnum loads, making it ideal for shooters training with revolvers or practicing rapid-fire sequences without excessive muzzle rise. Lead round nose projectiles expand consistently through intermediate barriers and retain their velocity downrange, characteristics that explain their continued adoption by law enforcement academies and defensive pistol courses. At 997 fps, this load sits in the middle velocity band—fast enough for reliable expansion on threat-stopping scenarios, yet mild enough for shooters to maintain sight picture and follow-up accuracy across multiple engagements.
This ammunition is built for officers and civilian shooters who carry or train with snub-nose and service-length revolvers. Whether used for academy qualification cycles, duty training, or personal defense preparation, the 38 Special 158 LRN is the workhorse round that bridges accuracy and stopping power without the expense or recoil penalty of magnum cartridges. Sellier & Bellot ammunition is manufactured to consistent specifications and has earned its reputation within military and law enforcement training environments for dependable performance across diverse environmental conditions.
