38 Special – 125 gr TMC – Ammo Inc (38125TMC) – 1000 Rounds

Revolver owners who shoot indoors often want an encapsulated bullet that keeps lead out of the air and out of the forcing cone. This listing is Ammo Inc 38 Special 125 grain total metal case ammo, MPN 38125TMC, sold as a 1,000 round supply for regular revolver practice, instructors running classes, and shooters who want enough 38 Special on hand for a full year.

A total metal case bullet is fully enclosed in its jacket, base included, so there is no exposed lead for hot powder gases to vaporize. That reduces lead at the firing point and helps keep the cylinder throats and barrel cleaner than lead round nose or wadcutter ammunition. The 125 grain weight is a familiar 38 Special bullet weight, giving manageable recoil in small revolvers and very mild recoil in full size guns. It is a non-expanding practice round meant for training, not defense.

This ammunition fits revolvers and lever guns chambered in 38 Special, plus revolvers chambered in 357 Magnum. Examples include the Smith and Wesson Model 10, 642, 686, and 19, Ruger LCR, SP101, and GP100, Colt Python and Cobra, Taurus 856 and 605, Kimber K6s, and lever actions such as the Henry Big Boy and Marlin 1894C in 357. A common question is whether 38 Special can be used in a 357 Magnum lever rifle. Usually yes, and it makes a quiet, cheap practice load, though some lever guns feed the shorter round less smoothly. Another common question is whether this is a +P load. It is not marked +P, so treat it as standard pressure.

Ammo Inc 38125TMC is new production ammunition, not reloads, loaded in brass cases with non-corrosive primers. This listing contains 1,000 rounds of 38 Special from one lot. That amount supports steady practice for months, and keeping to one lot keeps your point of impact the same from the first cylinder to the last.
