38 Special – 132 gr FMJ – PMC (38G) – 250 Rounds

Not every revolver owner needs a full case. This 250 round pack of PMC Bronze 38 Special is sized for a few range trips, a new revolver break-in, or keeping a modest supply on hand. This listing is PMC Bronze 38 Special 132 grain full metal jacket ammo, MPN 38G, sold as 250 rounds.

PMC rates this load at 917 fps with 232 ft-lbs of muzzle energy. The 132 grain bullet is lighter than traditional 158 grain 38 Special loads, which keeps recoil mild even in small, lightweight revolvers. That makes it a good choice for teaching new shooters and for practicing double action trigger control without fatigue. The full metal jacket covers the lead core, so it leaves less lead in the bore and forcing cone than lead round nose ammo and is often accepted at indoor ranges that limit exposed lead. FMJ bullets do not expand, so use a dedicated hollow point for defense.

This ammunition fits revolvers and lever guns chambered in 38 Special, such as the Smith and Wesson 642, 442, 637, and Model 10, Ruger LCR, SP101, and GP100, Taurus 856 and 605, Charter Arms Undercover, and Colt Cobra. It also fits any 357 Magnum revolver, since a 357 chamber safely accepts 38 Special. A common question is whether a 250 round pack is enough to break in a new revolver. Revolvers do not need a formal break-in like some semi-autos, but a few hundred rounds is a good way to learn the trigger and confirm your sights. Another common question is whether this is safe in older revolvers. It is standard pressure, not +P.

PMC 38G is new production ammunition, not reloads, loaded in South Korea. Each round uses a reloadable brass case with a boxer primer and is non-corrosive. This listing ships as 5 boxes of 50 rounds for a total of 250 rounds of 38 Special 132 grain FMJ. For high-volume shooters, the same load is also offered in a 1,000 round case.
