If you're running classic revolvers in cowboy action competitions or just love shooting vintage firearms, this is the ammunition built specifically for that experience. Fiocchi's Cowboy Action line brings together modern manufacturing reliability with the ballistics profile that made these revolvers great in the first place.
The lead round nose bullet at 145 grains delivers the feeding reliability and predictable ballistics that vintage revolver actions expect. At 720 fps muzzle velocity, you get manageable recoil without sacrificing accuracy. The brass cases are boxer-primed and fully reloadable, which makes this a smart choice for the cost-conscious shooter who wants to reload. All of this comes packed in a straightforward 50-round box.
Fiocchi manufactures this ammunition at their Ozark, Missouri facility using smokeless powder, coated lead bullets to minimize barrel fouling, and non-corrosive primers. The coating on the bullets reduces the mess you'll deal with downrange compared to older factory loads, and the non-corrosive primers mean you can shoot these in your vintage iron without worrying about corrosion if you don't clean immediately.
The 38 S&W Short is distinctly different from the 38 Special, with a shorter case and slightly larger bullet diameter. Make sure your firearm is specifically marked for 38 S&W Short before loading. This ammunition is designed for target shooting, cowboy action events, and keeping historical firearms functional. It's not appropriate for modern defensive use.
No. Despite the similar names, .38 S&W Short and .38 Special are different cartridges with distinct dimensions. Using the wrong ammunition can cause serious accuracy problems or potential firearm damage. Always verify your firearm is marked specifically for .38 S&W Short before loading.
This load is designed for revolvers chambered in .38 S&W Short, including vintage and replica models like Webley, Enfield, Colt New Police, and early Smith & Wesson top-breaks. If your revolver doesn't explicitly show .38 S&W Short on the barrel, don't use it.
Yes. The boxes contain boxer-primed brass cases that can be collected and reloaded. This is standard practice among cowboy action competitors and is a good way to reduce long-term shooting costs if you're familiar with safe reloading procedures.
No. This ammunition is designed specifically for cowboy action competitions and target shooting. The 145-grain lead round nose bullet and moderate 720 fps velocity aren't suitable for modern defensive or hunting applications. Use modern defensive ammunition designed for those purposes.
