38 Special – 132 gr FMJ – PMC Battle Packs (38G-BP) – 900 Rounds

PMC Battle Packs seal 300 rounds in a heavy, vacuum-packed bag, a format that suits revolver shooters who want a deep supply of practice ammo stored and ready. This listing is PMC Bronze 38 Special 132 grain full metal jacket ammo in Battle Packs, MPN 38G-BP, sold as 900 rounds.

PMC rates this load at 917 fps with 232 ft-lbs of muzzle energy, the same load as its boxed 38G. The 132 grain bullet is lighter than the traditional 158 grain 38 Special weight, so recoil stays soft even in lightweight snub-nose revolvers, which makes it well suited to long practice sessions and new shooters. The full metal jacket keeps lead fouling in the bore and forcing cone to a minimum and is often accepted at indoor ranges that limit exposed lead. FMJ bullets do not expand, so use a dedicated defensive load for carry.

This ammunition fits revolvers and lever guns chambered in 38 Special, such as Smith and Wesson J-frame, K-frame, and L-frame revolvers, the Ruger LCR, SP101, and GP100, Colt Cobra, Night Cobra, and Python, Taurus 856, Charter Arms revolvers, and 38/357 lever rifles. It also fits any 357 Magnum revolver, since a 357 chamber safely accepts 38 Special. A common question is how Battle Packs are packaged. Each is a sealed bag of 300 loose rounds, which many shooters pour into an ammo can and load with speed strips. Another common question is whether this is +P. It is standard pressure.

PMC 38G-BP 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. The sealed bags protect the ammunition from moisture during storage. This listing ships as 3 Battle Packs of 300 rounds for a total of 900 rounds of 38 Special 132 grain FMJ.
