The Remington Performance WheelGun in .38 Short Colt puts the focus where it should be: smooth, predictable performance that you can count on match after match. This is purpose-built ammunition for people who appreciate what a properly tuned revolver can do, whether you're working with a vintage Colt, a modern Smith & Wesson, or a lever rifle.
The short case on this cartridge is a big deal if you're shooting competitively. That shorter length cycles through ejector rods faster and cleaner than full-length .38 Special cases, which means less downtime between strings and smoother reloads. The 125-grain lead round nose bullet is a classic choice that groups tight at reasonable distances, and at 730 feet per second, you get predictable trajectory without excessive velocity swings from shot to shot.
Remington's Kleanbore priming system prevents rust and corrosion inside your barrel, which matters if you're shooting in humid conditions or your gun sits for a while between sessions. The brass cases are factory-fresh and uniform in weight and wall thickness, which translates directly to tighter velocity spreads and more consistent point-of-impact shifts across your 50-round box.
These rounds excel at what they're designed for: target shooting and competitive revolver events. If you're into cowboy action shooting, historical reenactments, or just enjoy the feel of running older ammunition in classic firearms, this load delivers the kind of reliable performance that lets you focus on fundamentals rather than worrying about ammunition quality.
Yes, you can safely fire .38 Short Colt in most .38 Special and .357 Magnum revolvers because they share the same bullet diameter and case dimensions, just with different case lengths. However, always verify compatibility with your firearm's manual or a qualified gunsmith before use, as older revolvers may have slightly different chamber specs.
Modern competitive revolver shooters prefer the shorter case because it ejects faster and clears the ejector rod more cleanly, especially in snubby frames. This means quicker reloads and less chance of brass hanging up during rapid-fire strings. It's become a favorite for serious competitors and cowboy action shooters.
No, this ammunition uses Remington's Kleanbore priming which is specifically designed to prevent rust and corrosion inside gun barrels. That means you can shoot it without worrying about harmful residue buildup, and your barrel will stay cleaner during extended shooting sessions.
The Performance WheelGun .38 Short Colt produces approximately 148 foot-pounds of muzzle energy at 730 feet per second. This moderate energy level is ideal for target shooting and competition work, where consistency and accuracy matter more than raw power.
