Fed Am Eagle 38spl 158gr Lrn 50/1000

Federal American Eagle 38 Special 158-grain lead round nose ammunition delivers reliable, cost-effective performance for training, practice, and general shooting applications. This 50-round box (1,000 rounds per case) combines clean-burning propellants with Catalyst lead-free primers to minimize fouling and reduce bore fouling buildup, allowing shooters to extend cleaning intervals and maximize range time between maintenance cycles.

The 158-grain lead round nose projectile is a proven standard in .38 Special loading, offering predictable trajectory and moderate recoil characteristics suitable for revolvers and lever-action carbines chambered in this classic caliber. Clean-burning propellant formulations reduce residue accumulation on cylinder walls, forcing cone, and bore surfaces—a practical advantage during extended training sessions or high-round-count practice days. Catalyst lead-free primers ensure compliance with range policies and environmental standards in jurisdictions with lead ammunition restrictions.

This load is favored by firearms instructors, defensive revolver practitioners, and recreational shooters seeking reduced maintenance burden without compromising reliability or accuracy. The .38 Special round remains the foundation of civilian self-defense and law enforcement training curricula, and American Eagle's formulation addresses the real-world concern of copper and lead fouling that accumulates during high-volume practice. Shooters operating on tight maintenance schedules or managing shared range equipment benefit significantly from ammunition that keeps firearms cleaner for longer periods.
