38 Special +P – 100 gr HoneyBadger – Black Hills (D38N4) – 500 Rounds

Short barrel revolvers often struggle to expand a traditional hollow point, which is why many snub nose owners look at non-expanding designs. This listing is Black Hills HoneyBadger 38 Special +P 100 grain ammo, MPN D38N4, sold as 500 rounds. It suits revolver carriers who want a light, fast bullet that does not rely on expansion to perform, and who want enough rounds to practice with their carry load.

Retail specifications list this load at 1,275 fps with 361 ft-lbs of muzzle energy. The HoneyBadger is a solid copper, non-expanding bullet with a drill bit style fluted nose. Instead of mushrooming, the flutes use the bullet’s rotation and velocity to push fluid outward and create a wound channel, so performance does not depend on a hollow point opening through clothing. The light 100 grain weight keeps recoil manageable for a +P load. This is self defense ammunition and is also lead free.

This ammunition fits revolvers chambered in 38 Special that are rated for +P, and all 357 Magnum revolvers, including the Smith and Wesson 642, 442, 60, and 686, Ruger LCR, SP101, and GP100, Colt Cobra and King Cobra, Kimber K6s, and Taurus 856. A common question is whether +P ammo is safe in an older or aluminum frame revolver. Only use +P in guns the manufacturer rates for it, and check the barrel or owner manual if you are unsure. Another common question is whether a light 100 grain bullet shoots to the sights. Many fixed sight revolvers are regulated for 158 grain loads, so confirm point of impact before carrying.

Black Hills D38N4 is new production ammunition, not reloads, made in the USA in Rapid City, South Dakota. It uses reloadable brass cases, boxer primers, and non-corrosive components. The listing ships as 10 boxes of 50 rounds for 500 total from one lot, enough to test reliability, practice at defensive distances, and rotate fresh rounds into your revolver.
