Pick up this 1,000 round case of PPU PPH38SW 38 S&W 145 grain lead round nose ammo from Prvi Partizan. Factory ammunition for the 38 S&W can be hard to find, so a bulk case is a practical way to keep a vintage revolver shooting. Whether you own a classic Smith and Wesson top break or a British service revolver, this load lets you take it to the range instead of leaving it in the safe.
The 145 grain lead round nose bullet is a traditional design for revolver cartridges of this era. Prvi Partizan’s factory catalog lists a muzzle velocity of 689 fps and muzzle energy of 153 ft-lbs. That mild load produces light recoil and is well suited to range shooting, plinking and enjoying older revolvers. It is a target and practice load, not a modern defensive round. Older revolvers should be checked by a qualified gunsmith before firing.
Smith and Wesson introduced the 38 S&W in 1877 for its top-break revolvers, and the British later adopted a version of it as the .38/200 for service revolvers such as the Enfield No. 2 and the Webley Mk IV. The 38 S&W is NOT interchangeable with the 38 Special. It has a shorter, wider case, and it should never be fired in a 38 Special or 357 Magnum chamber. Confirm that your revolver is marked for 38 S&W before loading. Prvi Partizan has made ammunition in Serbia since 1928 and is one of the few companies still producing many older calibers.
This is new production ammunition loaded in brass cases with Boxer primers, so the cases are reloadable. PPU ammunition is non-corrosive, which is easy on older guns. The case holds 20 boxes of 50 rounds each, for a total of 1,000 rounds. PPU PPH38SW stores well in a cool, dry place, so one case can keep a classic revolver shooting for years.
