The .38 Special 158 gr SP Sellier & Bellot (SB38C) load delivers steady, predictable performance for shooters focused on target shooting and revolver practice. It uses a Soft Point (SP) projectile that provides stable flight and consistent accuracy. Because of this traditional bullet design, the load suits buyers who want reliable range ammunition with classic handling characteristics. Many shooters prefer 158-grain .38 Special for its balanced recoil impulse and familiar point-of-impact.
Sellier & Bellot loads the SB38C to a muzzle velocity of 889 fps and a muzzle energy of 277 ft-lbs from standard test barrels. These ballistics create moderate recoil and smooth follow-through. As a result, shooters maintain better control during extended practice sessions. In addition, the heavier 158-grain bullet weight offers a steady shooting rhythm that supports accuracy development. Consequently, this load performs well in both compact and full-size revolvers chambered in .38 Special.
This product ships as 50 rounds per box and 20 boxes per case (1,000 rounds total).

Sellier & Bellot manufactures this ammunition with reloadable brass cases and non-corrosive Boxer primers, ensuring dependable ignition and smooth extraction. Furthermore, Sellier & Bellot maintains consistent production standards to support uniform velocities and repeatable performance.
While optimized for target shooting, the .38 Special 158 gr SP Sellier & Bellot (SB38C) also appeals to shooters who value traditional revolver ammunition.
