Description

Sellier & Bellot has been making ammunition since 1825, and this .38 Special loading shows that legacy of quality. The 158 grain soft point delivers a balanced performance profile that works for range days, practice, and serious applications where soft point projectiles are appropriate.

Semi-Jacketed Soft Point Construction

These rounds use a lead core with a precisely engineered jacket that provides controlled expansion and excellent weight retention. The soft point design feeds smoothly through most firearms without excessive fouling in the barrel. You get reliable functioning without the complexity of more specialized projectile designs. The semi-jacketed construction sits between full metal jacket and hollow point options, making it practical for diverse use cases.

Built for Consistent Performance

Muzzle velocity clocks in at approximately 889 feet per second with muzzle energy around 278 foot-pounds, giving you the power that 158 grain loads are known for without pushing into magnum territory. The recoil stays manageable, especially in full-size revolvers where the platform was designed around this exact bullet weight. Brass cases and noncorrosive primers mean you can reload spent brass or simply store unused rounds long-term without worrying about corrosion issues.

Made Right, Priced Right

These cartridges are loaded to CIP specifications in the Czech Republic. You get the standard pressure characteristics that work in any .38 Special revolver or compatible pistol, from vintage designs to modern hardware.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this ammunition work in my vintage .38 Special revolver?

Yes. These are standard pressure loads loaded to CIP specifications, so they function safely in any .38 Special revolver or compatible pistol. The 158 grain weight is the traditional standard that most fixed-sight revolvers are sighted in for, so you should see your rounds hit where you expect them.

Can I reload the brass cases from this ammunition?

Absolutely. Sellier & Bellot uses reloadable brass cases with standard Boxer primers, so spent casings are definitely worth saving. Just inspect each case for damage before reloading like you would with any other ammunition.

What makes soft point bullets different from full metal jacket rounds?

The soft point design exposes a lead core at the tip, allowing for controlled expansion upon impact while maintaining good penetration. This gives you more performance potential than FMJ rounds while remaining a practical, general-purpose projectile that works well for range use and applications where expanding bullets are appropriate.

How does Sellier & Bellot compare to other ammunition manufacturers?

Sellier & Bellot has over 200 years of ammunition manufacturing experience and is recognized for consistent quality and precision. These rounds are made in the Czech Republic to strict CIP standards, giving you dependable performance across different firearms without the premium pricing of some other brands.
