This is a modern take on the proven 158-grain semi-wadcutter that made the .38 Special legendary. Underwood built this load around soft lead that's designed to expand on impact while staying hard enough not to create lead fouling in your barrel. You get a hollow point semi-wadcutter that cuts a clean wound channel regardless of whether it expands, so you're covered either way.
Underwood's proprietary Black Cherry polymer coating is a big step up from older lead bullet technology. It handles higher temperatures and pressures without breaking down, protects the bullet from gas cutting, and stops lead from contacting your bore entirely. This coating is thermally stable and actually cleans up easier than you'd expect for lead ammunition. You won't get the plastic burning smell some coatings produce, and the corrosion resistance keeps your brass looking good.
These rounds ship in nickel-plated brass cases that feed reliably and resist tarnish from sweat and leather. The 1160 fps velocity from the 158-grain bullet generates 472 foot-pounds of energy, which is serious for .38 Special. Underwood uses flash-suppressed powder so your night vision stays intact if you ever need to use your gun in low light. Each box contains 20 rounds, and the brass is reloadable if you're into that.
New production ammo, non-corrosive, boxer-primed, and ready to go. The gun was tested on real firearms that people actually own, not just test benches. These rounds work in any revolver rated for +P, and they'll shoot more consistently than standard .38 Special. If you want a heavy, proven bullet design with modern manufacturing and coating technology, this load does it.
No. This ammunition is loaded to +P pressure specifications and must only be used in firearms rated for +P. Using higher pressure ammunition in a gun not designed for it can damage the firearm and create safety hazards. Check your revolver's documentation or contact the manufacturer if you're unsure about its rating.
The Black Cherry polymer coating prevents lead from making direct contact with your barrel, which eliminates lead fouling. It's thermally stable enough to handle the higher pressures of this +P load, protects against gas cutting, and resists corrosion. This keeps your barrel cleaner and your revolver running smoother over time.
The soft lead is designed to expand on impact, but the semi-wadcutter design means you get effective performance even if it doesn't expand. The broad nose and hollow point cavity work together to cut a significant wound channel, so you're covered either way.
Yes. The nickel-plated brass cases are boxer-primed and fully reloadable. The gas check at the base of the bullet helps with consistent performance if you're loading your own rounds.
