Description
If you shoot .38 Special regularly, this PMC Bronze Battle Pack gives you everything you need for serious range time without the premium price tag. You get 300 rounds vacuum-sealed and wrapped in a sturdy polymer sleeve that's built to handle transport and storage without any fuss.
What Makes This PMC Bronze Load Work
The 132-grain Full Metal Jacket bullet keeps things simple and effective. FMJ rounds feed reliably, minimize fouling inside the barrel, and give you consistent shot-to-shot results. At 917 feet per second, you're looking at moderate recoil that works well in revolvers of all sizes, from compact snubbies to full-frame duty guns. The ballistics stay stable enough for good accuracy at typical range distances.
Built for Reloaders and Budget-Conscious Range Regulars
PMC loads these rounds in reloadable brass cases with non-corrosive Boxer primers, so if you're into handloading, you can stretch your ammo dollar even further. The ammunition is produced in South Korea by Poongsan Corporation, a company that's been making munitions since the 1960s. They keep tight tolerances on powder charges and produce all their own components, which is why PMC rounds shoot so consistently.
Why the Battle Pack Format
Six boxes of 50 rounds each pack down tight in that protective polymer sleeve. It's easier to transport to the range than juggling loose boxes, and it stores neatly in a safe or ammo cabinet. The sealed packaging keeps moisture out and ammunition protected during storage. Whether you're plinking on paper, working on marksmanship drills, or just getting through a fun afternoon at the range, this is no-nonsense ammo that performs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I reload these brass cases after firing?
Yes, the brass cases are reloadable. PMC loads them with non-corrosive Boxer primers, which are the standard for reloaders. If you handload, collecting these spent cases gives you a cost-effective way to make more practice ammo down the road.
Will this PMC Bronze .38 Special work in all .38 Special revolvers?
This is standard pressure ammunition, so it works in any .38 Special gun designed for standard loads. It's safe in snubbies, K-frames, N-frames, and older revolvers that might be less comfortable with hotter loads. If you have a gun labeled for +P rounds only, check your manual, but this load doesn't require that rating.
How does the FMJ bullet compare to other .38 Special loads?
Full Metal Jacket rounds keep the barrel cleaner than lead round nose ammo because the jacket prevents lead deposits from building up as quickly. They feed more reliably in revolvers because the jacket maintains a consistent shape. The tradeoff is that FMJ rounds are designed for practice and target work, not for stopping threats, so pick defensive ammunition if that's your actual need.
Is this a +P load, and does it matter?
No, this is standard pressure .38 Special. The 917 fps velocity is moderate and manageable. It's perfect for older guns and shooters who want softer recoil without sacrificing too much energy. If your gun is rated for +P, you can shoot this, but you don't need the extra pressure.
