This 38 Special cartridge by Magtech features the 158 grain FMJ FN bullet you need to turn paper targets into Swiss cheese. Its manufacturer layered a flat layer of copper over the bullet to help preserve its shape as it’s propelled rapidly down the bore, as well as to prevent bore leading. This bullet’s flat meplat serves a purpose — much like a wadcutter, its broad frontal area will cleanly punch a hole through a paper target, making it easier to spot your results from uprange as well as score them without ambiguity.
This cartridge is loaded with a small pistol primer and clean burning propellant which reliably yield a 755 fps muzzle velocity, so you’ll be able to anticipate what will ensue after every trigger pull. Magtech loaded the round’s explosive components and accurate bullet into a new production brass casing, one which slips easily in and out of a revolver’s cylinder and reloads well back at home. The Brazilian manufacturer is a master of their craft, with the substantial resources and experience needed to provide highly standardized quality!

The flat nose (FN) design on these bullets is fantastic for paper targets. It punches clean, circular holes that look like they were made by a wadcutter, making scoring very easy. At 15 yards, my groups were incredibly tight and consistent. There is very little variation in velocity between shots.

I bought 500 rounds of this Magtech to split between my Ruger GP100 and a Rossi lever-action rifle. It performs beautifully in both platforms. The flat nose profile ensures perfectly reliable feeding from the rifle’s tube magazine with zero jams. Extraction from the revolver cylinder is incredibly smooth even after shooting all afternoon. Will definitely buy again.

Aside from Magtech being highly reliable factory ammo, the brass they use is top-tier. I reload all my own revolver ammunition, and these casings are excellent. They have thick walls, uniform primer pockets, and I easily get 6 to 8 reloads out of a single piece of brass before seeing splits. It adds huge value to the initial purchase.

You really can’t beat Magtech when it comes to value. It performs just as well as premium American brands but costs significantly less per box. It allows me to spend twice as much time at the range without feeling guilty about my wallet. Packaging arrived pristine too.

A lot of budget-friendly .38 Special ammo leaves your gun completely caked in black soot after 50 rounds. Magtech burns remarkably clean. My hands and the front of my cylinder were barely dirty after shooting a couple of boxes. It makes post-range cleanup much faster and less tedious
