Description
The Grizzly Ammo GC38SP7 is built around a premise that works well at the range: clean-cutting precision through paper targets and dependable performance round after round. The 158-grain semi wad-cutter bullet design creates precise holes that make scoring simpler, which is why this load has become a go-to for folks who want their practice ammo to match their marksmanship goals.
Semi Wad-Cutter Design for Target Clarity
The semi wad-cutter profile sits between the full wadcutter and traditional round nose bullets. This design creates a sharper edge than standard ammo while maintaining better accuracy at distances beyond close range. The result is cleaner target holes without the fragility of full wadcutters. At 900 fps muzzle velocity with 284 foot-pounds of energy, the load stays right where you want it for target work without unnecessary recoil punishment.
Built for Reloadable Brass
Grizzly loads the GC38SP7 into new production, non-corrosive brass with boxer primers, making these cases reloadable for handloaders who want to stretch their ammunition dollar. The ammunition uses flash-suppressed powder, keeping your range session more pleasant. Each box contains 50 rounds, and cases come with 10 boxes per case for convenient ordering.
Whether you're working on target fundamentals or just getting rounds downrange for practice, this load delivers the consistency that makes .38 Special revolvers genuinely enjoyable to shoot.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between this semi wad-cutter and a full wadcutter round?
Semi wad-cutters have a partially rounded nose rather than the completely flat front of a full wadcutter. This design cuts clean target holes while maintaining better accuracy at longer ranges. The semi wad-cutter profile works well for practical target shooting where you want scoreable holes without sacrificing distance shooting performance.
Will these reloadable cases work for handloading?
Yes, the Grizzly GC38SP7 comes in new production brass with boxer primers, making these cases ideal for reloading. They're non-corrosive, so they won't damage your equipment or die during the reloading process. Many handloaders appreciate having quality brass to work with for their next batch.
Is 900 fps fast enough to avoid leading in my revolver?
The 900 fps velocity sits right around the threshold where proper lubrication prevents leading. Since Grizzly uses lead bullets with appropriate lubrication grooves, you should experience clean shooting without buildup issues. Keep your revolver reasonably clean between shooting sessions and you'll be fine.
What size case quantities do these come in?
Individual boxes contain 50 rounds, and cases ship with 10 boxes per case for a total of 500 rounds. This makes bulk ordering convenient whether you're stocking up for regular practice or buying enough to share shooting days with friends.
