Description
The .38 Super +P is a serious cartridge for folks running 1911s, CZs, and other modern .38 Super platforms. This PMC Bronze load sits at the intersection of reliability and performance, pushing 1,100 fps with 350 foot-pounds of energy. That's the kind of velocity that keeps your shots flat downrange and your groups tight when it matters.
PMC Bronze .38 Super +P Quality Control
What sets PMC Bronze apart from basic range ammo is the manufacturing approach. Every single round passes through an electronic powder-check station that measures the propellant charge to extreme precision. If any cartridge varies by even two-tenths of a grain, it gets pulled out of the line and discarded. That level of attention to detail doesn't happen at this price point with many other brands.
FMJ Design for High-Volume Training
The 130-grain full metal jacket bullet is built for shooters who put serious rounds downrange. Clean feeding through semi-auto actions, minimal barrel fouling, and reliable cycling. The all-brass construction with Boxer primers means every case is reloadable when you're ready to reload or just want to keep quality brass around for the future.
Designed for Competition and Range Work
PMC Bronze has earned its reputation with USPSA and IPSC competitors who run .38 Super. You get the velocity you need for major power factor without the recoil management headaches of heavier magnum rounds. Whether you're punching paper, running steel, or just putting in volume at the range, this load delivers consistent performance through a full day of shooting.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I shoot PMC Bronze .38 Super +P in my 1911?
Yes, if your 1911 is chambered in .38 Super. This is a +P load, so make sure your pistol is rated for +P pressure. Modern 1911s and CZ platforms are built for this power level. Always check your firearm manufacturer's specifications to confirm compatibility with +P ammunition.
How does PMC Bronze maintain such consistent quality?
Every round passes through PMC's electronic powder-check station, which measures the propellant charge and automatically discards any round that varies by even two-tenths of a grain. This ensures shot-to-shot consistency and helps explain why this ammunition has a reputation for reliability across high-volume shooting sessions.
Is this ammo good for competition shooting?
Absolutely. The .38 Super +P is popular in USPSA and IPSC competition, and PMC Bronze is widely used by competitors because it delivers the velocity and reliability needed for major power factor while maintaining manageable recoil. The FMJ design ensures smooth feeding through semi-auto actions.
Can I reload these brass cases?
Yes. The brass casings are reloadable and made with standard Boxer primers, which makes them suitable for reloading when you're ready. The consistent powder charges mean less variation in your reloads as well.
