You don’t have to rack your brain figuring out which .38 Special ammunition is best for target shooting. All you have to do is look for the words “Magtech” and “158 grain full metal jacket flat nose” and place your order!
This cartridge’s FMJ FN is a real beauty. There’s no steel in its lead core or gilding metal jacket, so it complies with the nonmagnetic-only policies commonly enforced at gun ranges. The aforementioned jacket prevents lead-on-bore contact, and reduces lead fouling (but doesn’t eliminate it, as the core’s exposed base will release lead gas while it’s cooked by propellant). The FMJ’s flat frontal profile doesn’t impair accuracy over the kinds of distances one would conventionally cover with a .38 Spl target oad, but it *does* make this ammo a natural pick for range day with any .357/.38 lever-action rifle.
Finally, there’s the non-bullet components: reloadable virgin brass shells, clean-firing Boxer primers, and clean-burning powder to accelerate those heavyweight bullets to a low-recoiling muzzle velocity (755 fps, 4-V test barrel). All quality all around, and made in Brazil by one of the biggest names in ammo on earth!
