The G2 Research Telos brings modern ammunition engineering to the .38 Special with a precision-machined solid copper projectile that delivers consistent, predictable performance right out of the box. This isn't another standard hollow point packed with marketing hype. The engineering here is real: the projectile is CNC machined from pure copper with internally segmented grooves that cause controlled fragmentation upon impact, creating multiple wound channels without relying on traditional lead-core construction.
When the hollow point cavity fills with fluid during impact, expanding pressure causes the projectile to fragment in a controlled manner. This design creates seven separate copper petals that spread roughly 3 inches while the base continues penetrating deeply. The result is a balance between expansion and penetration, delivering roughly 4.5 to 5 inches of initial penetration followed by deep base penetration exceeding 10 inches. For a 105-grain load pushing 1170 fps from a longer-barreled revolver, this is solid terminal ballistics that respects both effectiveness and the need to avoid excessive penetration in defensive scenarios.
The all-copper construction means you can train at indoor ranges without exposure to airborne lead particulates, something that matters more if you shoot frequently. The ammunition cycles reliably from most .38 Special platforms, though it's worth noting that +P loads perform best from revolvers with proper frame strength. The brass cases are reloadable if you swing that direction, and everything ships factory-fresh with consistent ballistics from round to round.
G2 Research engineered this round for personal protection scenarios where controlled performance matters. The 105-grain weight keeps recoil manageable in compact revolvers while the +P velocity generates the energy needed for reliable expansion. Each box contains 20 rounds of new production ammunition with boxer-primed brass and non-corrosive construction, ready to perform when it counts.
+P ammunition generates higher pressure than standard loads, so verify your revolver is rated for .38 Special +P before using it. Older firearms, particularly those with aluminum frames, may not be suitable for +P ammunition. Check your owner's manual or contact the manufacturer to confirm compatibility with your specific gun.
The projectile is machined from solid copper with internal segmentation grooves that are invisible from the outside. When the hollow point cavity fills with tissue or fluid during impact, internal pressure causes the bullet to break apart in a controlled manner, creating multiple wound channels from the fragmenting petals while the heavier base continues penetrating deeply.
While optimized for defensive scenarios, there's nothing wrong with training with it if you want to practice with the exact ammunition you'll carry. The lead-free construction actually makes it a smart choice for frequent indoor range use since it reduces airborne lead exposure compared to traditional ammunition.
The 105-grain weight is lighter than typical defensive loads, which helps the Telos achieve the velocity needed for reliable expansion from shorter barrels. The solid copper construction and engineered fragmentation design differ significantly from conventional lead-core hollow points, offering multiple wound channels rather than single-cavity expansion.
