Description
The Remington Performance WheelGun .38 Special is purpose-built for revolver shooters who expect smooth feeding, dependable accuracy, and clean-burning performance. With a 158-grain lead round nose bullet and 755 fps muzzle velocity, this load strikes the right balance between power and manageability at the range.
What Makes WheelGun .38 Special Different
Remington engineered this line specifically for wheelgun and lever-action rifle shooters. The 158-grain load delivers reliable performance while staying gentle on recoil, making it ideal for extended range sessions. The round nose bullet design feeds predictably in revolvers, cycle after cycle, without the feeding complications you might encounter with some lighter loads in lever actions.
Kleanbore Primers and Reloadable Brass
Every Performance WheelGun round uses Remington's Kleanbore primer technology, which produces clean-burning residue that won't rust or corrode your barrel. The brass cases are high-quality and fully reloadable, so you can reload and shoot again after your range day ends. This makes the cost per round even more attractive for shooters who handload.
Target shooters appreciate the consistency these rounds deliver, whether you're punching paper at 7 yards or pushing your skills at 25. The 200 ft-lbs of muzzle energy keeps things manageable while maintaining enough oomph for reliable performance in lever guns as well.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I shoot this .38 Special ammo in a .357 Magnum revolver?
Yes. .357 Magnum revolvers are fully compatible with .38 Special ammunition, giving you a lower-recoil option for range training or practice. The round will function reliably in any .357 Magnum wheelgun.
Are these rounds reloadable?
Yes. The brass cases are quality Remington brass with standard Boxer primers, making them excellent candidates for reloading. Just make sure to clean them first and follow proper reloading procedures.
Is this WheelGun ammo good for older revolvers?
Absolutely. The 158-grain lead round nose is one of the classic revolver loads and works great in older guns. The lead bullet feeds smoothly, and the Kleanbore primers are designed to keep your barrel clean without corrosive residue.
Will this ammo work in a lever-action rifle chambered in .38 Special?
