Federal American Eagle .38 Special ammunition has earned a solid reputation as practical, dependable range ammo that doesn't eat up your budget. Loaded with a 158-grain lead round nose bullet, this classic design excels at smooth feeding and delivers the ballistics you'd expect from Federal's quality standards.
The lead round nose bullet maintains its shape through impact, which is exactly what you want for target practice and skill development. These rounds produce a muzzle velocity of 770 feet per second and generate 208 foot-pounds of energy at the muzzle, giving you manageable recoil that won't beat you up during extended practice sessions. The ballistics are consistent enough to help you build real skills that transfer to other ammunition.
Each round sits in a reloadable brass case with a reliable Boxer primer, letting reloaders squeeze out additional practice for even less money. The clean-burning powder and quality components are what you'd expect from Federal's reputation. These are new production rounds loaded to standard .38 Special pressure, making them appropriate for any revolver chambered in .38 Special, including older vintage guns and modern J-frames alike.
Federal manufactures these rounds domestically, and they've built American Eagle specifically for target shooting and training. Whether you're putting rounds downrange at the local range or working through a training course, this ammunition delivers the consistency Federal is known for. Many shooters report running hundreds of rounds without issues, which speaks to the reliability you get in a practical, economical package.
Yes, .38 Special ammunition can be safely fired in .357 Magnum revolvers without issue. The .357 Magnum chamber is designed to safely handle the smaller .38 Special cartridge. Just remember that .357 Magnum rounds cannot be used in a .38 Special revolver since they're too long and powerful.
Yes, each round uses a reloadable brass case with a Boxer primer, which makes it perfect for reloaders looking to reduce their practice costs even further. After you fire the rounds, you can reload them with new primers, powder, and bullets.
Lead round nose bullets are 100 percent solid lead with no jacket. They feed smoothly in both revolvers and semi-automatic pistols, offer good accuracy at economical prices, and are ideal for target practice. The soft lead helps the bullet maintain consistent ballistics and performance shot to shot.
Federal American Eagle .38 Special is loaded to standard pressures and works reliably in nearly all .38 Special revolvers, including older and vintage firearms. The mild ballistics and consistent performance make it especially suitable for guns that have seen decades of use.
