The Sellier & Bellot SB38L is what you reach for when you want ammunition that just works. This is solid target and practice ammo loaded with a classic 158-grain lead flat nose bullet in the iconic .38 Special. Each of the 50 rounds in the box delivers 938 fps muzzle velocity and 309 foot-pounds of energy, which gives you the kind of consistent performance that makes for clean shooting sessions whether you're at the range or working on your technique at home.
Sellier & Bellot has been making ammunition since 1825, and that kind of longevity doesn't come from cutting corners. The SB38L is manufactured to strict standards using premium brass cases and Boxer primers. The ammo is non-corrosive and fully reloadable, so if you're the type who likes to get more out of your ammunition investment, the spent brass is worth collecting. The lead flat nose design is purpose-built for target work, giving you predictable performance downrange without the expense of jacketed rounds.
This ammunition feeds and chambers smoothly in a wide variety of .38 Special revolvers. The flat nose profile works particularly well in traditional wheel guns, and the moderate recoil makes for manageable shooting even in lighter revolvers or during extended practice sessions. Whether you're training for competition, putting in range time, or just keeping your skills sharp, this load delivers the kind of reliability you can count on round after round.
Yes, these rounds come with boxer primers and brass cases that are fully reloadable. Just clean and sort your spent brass, and you've got components ready for handloading.
The SB38L is designed for standard .38 Special revolvers and will feed and function reliably in most wheel guns. The 158-grain load is a traditional weight that works across a wide range of firearms, though you should always verify that your specific gun can handle standard pressure loads.
The flat nose profile provides slightly more surface area for target impact and can group a bit tighter on paper. It was originally designed for competition shooting, so it delivers good accuracy for practice and training work. It will generate a bit more fouling in the barrel compared to jacketed rounds, but that's the trade-off for the lower cost.
The SB38L uses lead bullets, so some indoor ranges restrict or prohibit lead ammunition due to ventilation concerns. Always check your range's rules before bringing lead ammo, as policies vary.
