38 Special Ammo
The most widely used revolver cartridge in the world is surely .38 Special ammo, a balanced caliber that offers solid all-around performance for target shooting and self-defense. While the traditional .38 Special load typically fires a 158 grain lead bullet at a relatively low velocity, modern self-defense ammo often opts for a lighter 110-130 grain projectile and a higher velocity approaching 1,000 feet per second. This is due to the nature of jacketed hollow point bullets, which expand more reliably at higher velocities. .38 Special cartridges can be fired in .357 Magnum revolvers, making them an excellent low-cost, low-recoil alternative choice for owners of such firearms.
.38 Special handguns are often used for concealed carry. Additionally, an LEO who is typically issued a semi-automatic pistol may choose to also carry a compact backup gun so he can perform a "New York Reload"--a quick switch from an empty primary weapon to a fully loaded secondary weapon. The .38 Special is a common caliber for this purpose.
While not historically accurate to the "Wild West" period, the .38 lends itself well to action shooting. Cowboy loads in .38 Special use bare lead in order to play nice with steel targets; they're also lighter-shooting than typical range ammo in order to help the user make fast, accurate shots without regard to stopping power.
You'll find 38 special ammunition frequently in-stock from CCI, Magtech, Federal, Winchester and other great brands here at Widener's. You can see all our available rounds for sale below.

Prvi Partizan 38 Special 158 Grain LSWCHP – 500 Rounds
$229.85Product Type Ammo Manufacturer Prvi Partizan Condition New Bullet Weight 158 Grain Bullet Type Lead Semi-Wadcutter Hollow Point(LSWCHP) Use Type home defense, plinking at the range, Subsonic Casing Type Brass Quantity 500 Ammo Caliber 38 Special Manufacturer SKU PPH38SH Primer Type Boxer Magnetic No UPC Barcode 8605003817543 Cost Per Round 46¢ per round The power to carve clean holes through paper targets – coupled with the ability to expand inside soft tissue. That’s the one-two punch you sign up for when you order a case of Prvi Partizan 38 Special 158 Grain LSWCHP ammo!
The lead semi-wadcutter hollow point is not an excessively fancy projectile. This non-jacketed bullet’s side profile looks like that of a crayon, complete with a flat tip and angular shoulder. Its unique shape enables the LSWCHP to pass through a sheet of paper without making a tattered mess of it, which makes this ammo a natural pick for serious revolver marksmen. The LSWCHP’s flat nose also makes it lever-gun friendly.
If you use this ammo for personal protection with a snubnose, its broad tip is still going to inflict more damage to flesh and organs than an FMJ’s round nose could have. And if you defend yourself with a long-barreled revolver or rifle, its nose cavity will double down in the form of deleterious terminal expansion.
Prvi Partizan rolls their own brass to make strong, straight and reloadable Boxer-primed rimmed cases. Non-corrosive and nonmagnetic, you can enjoy firing this ammo wherever you please and without damaging your firearm! -

These rounds can also be used as an inexpensive range load for .357 Magnum revolvers. However, they may not be suitable for use in all rifles with tubular magazines due to their jacketed construction.
These cartridges come in boxes of 50 and use non-corrosive Boxer primers and reloadable brass cases. -

This makes it a relatively mild target load producing low recoil while maintaining excellent accuracy. It can also be fired in .357 Magnum revolvers as a cost-effective alternative to the magnum cartridge.

Great Ammo and Service
-
I got this after dealing with the -larcenous- prices that everyone else didn't seem to have any issues charging. Unable to understand how "new" calibers are released when availability and pricing were a joke for established calibers. These have functioned flawlessly and they fire "clean". The price was reasonable and I could get it in a quantity that made sense. I almost forgot the order that I'd placed on the weekend until I came home and happily found my box (thankfully left, as opposed to having to be there to sign for it). All around very happy and will re-order when needed. Thank you!

Remington UMC 38 Special 130 Grain MC – 1000 Rounds
$489.85Product Type Ammo Manufacturer Remington Condition New Bullet Weight 130 Grain Bullet Type Full Metal Jacket (FMJ) Use Type plinking at the range, Subsonic Casing Type Brass Quantity 1000 Ammo Caliber 38 Special Manufacturer SKU L38S11A Primer Type Boxer Magnetic No UPC Barcode 47700386041 Cost Per Round 49¢ per round This 38 Special cartridge is from Remington’s UMC division. They specialize in making only a select few types of popular rounds, so they’re able to sell in the quantities that allow them to keep their customers’ prices low. This round has got the metal case projectile for which UMC is so well-known -- it’s functionally no different from a full metal jacket, and accordingly prevents bore fouling while keeping feeding smooth in a semi-automatic weapon.
This round has got Remington’s Kleanbore primer. Your pistol’s bore will be much better off in the long run for having been exposed to so clean burning a primer, and that it’s non-corrosive means you can confidently set this case of ammo aside for a very long time. This round has also got the kind of quality brass casing that reloading enthusiasts covet.
It’s worth noting that these 1,000 rounds of ammo are split up among only four boxes. That makes things a little more convenient while you’re carrying all of your gear to the range, having to bring only one box rather than several. A big box is also very handy for storing reloads in. -

Speer has that very same concern in mind, which is why they offer this 38 Special +P cartridge from their Lawman Clean-Fire line of ammunition.
This cartridge features a 158 grain total metal jacket projectile. It provides all the advantages of a full metal jacket, but with the added benefit of enclosing the bullet’s base as well. Hot propellant gasses’ inability to evaporate the lead in this bullet make it far healthier for indoor shooting. What’s more, this round’s non-corrosive primer is free of lead, barium, and antimony, and is accordingly far better for your oxygen as the result.
This round’s bullet features the flat nose profile that’s perfect for shooting paper targets. Its brass casing is well-made, so it not only cycles reliably but is poised to deliver value at a reloading bench afterward. Please note that this is +P ammunition, and only belongs in firearms that are rated for it. -

But “38 Special?” Now there’s a proper name for the kind of band that sings about unindentured fowl. And it just so happens to be the kind of ammo you’re looking for today, too!
Federal Premium’s Champion label ammunition is all business. It’s loaded with all of its manufacturer’s highest-quality target grade components, including shiny new reloadable cases and clean-sparking powder/primers. Most significantly, this ammo is loaded with 130 grain plated full metal jacket bullets. Pro? They are more cost-effective than the true jacketed alternative, which has a welcome effect on this ammo’s price tag. Con? The plated jacket isn’t compatible with ported barrels – or ported compensators – as a port may slice a piece of it off and deflect it back at the shooter. -

Each round in this bulk priced case of 1,000 fires a 125 grain total metal jacket bullet at 863 feet per second. TMJ bullets have jackets that fully encapsulate the core and keep lead particles from escaping as the round is fired. This is beneficial anywhere, but provides the most safety benefit where ventilation is suboptimal.
Speer ammo is loaded in Lewiston, Idaho using non-corrosive Boxer primers and reloadable brass cases. Speer is a division of Vista Outdoor, which also includes CCI, Federal, and many other top shooting-related brands.

Its 945 fps muzzle velocity out of a 4” barrel produces the recoil and trajectory you’re probably already accustomed to if you prefer 38 Spl +P for self-defense.
Unlike a premium personal protection round, this cartridge is loaded with an aluminum case. The heat-treated aircraft grade aluminum case makes this ammo more economical, and it still extracts reliably from a cylinder. Just take care that an aluminum case is not reloadable. (Blazer specifically gives this ammo’s cases Berdan primers to discourage people from even trying to reload them.)
This is an overpressure cartridge. Please make certain only to fire it in a 38 Special firearm that is rated for +P. Any 357 Magnum firearm can safely fire this ammo. -

Remington ammo is loaded in Lonoke, Arkansas using reloadable brass cases and non-corrosive Boxer primers.

Federal Gold Medal Match 38 Special 148 Grain Lead Wadcutter - 50 Rounds

Gold Medal Match ammo uses proven configurations with diehard components and optimizes their value with stringent inspection methods. As such, each of these .38 Special cartridges is made using a clean-igniting Boxer primer fitted to a reloadable brass casing that bears a 148-grain bare lead wadcutter; as a classic wadcutter load, the bullet does not extend upon the rim of the brass casing and has a rather flat nose.
This shape creates clean, circular holes in paper and cardboard targets that may save you from scoring scrutiny in IDPA or USPSA. The 148-grain weight is a traditional choice for Bullseye style shooting and combines efforts with carefully measured powder charge in order to lend the .38 caliber very soft-shooting recoil. Due to this, shooters can expect greater precision and faster follow-up shots as they track their sights through a short arc. Federal Premium is a heavyweight name in the shooting industry that has helped some competitors attain gold medals at the Olympics, hence the name for this brand of .38 Special ammo.

Federal wadcutters have set the standard for 148 HBWC for years. Other rounds can compare themselves to Federal but few are near as accurate. Not the cheapest but quality rarely is.

Speer Gold Dot 38 Special +P 125 Grain JHP – 1000 Rounds
$799.85Product Type Ammo Manufacturer Speer Condition New Bullet Weight 125 Grain Bullet Type Jacketed Hollow-Point (JHP) Use Type home defense, Subsonic Casing Type Nickel-Plated Brass Quantity 1000 Ammo Caliber 38 Special Manufacturer SKU 53720 Primer Type Boxer Magnetic No UPC Barcode 10076683537208 Cost Per Round 80¢ per round You want the best self-defense ammo for your 38 Special or 357 Magnum revolver – or a proper load for that little lever-action varmint slayer you’ve been known to carry around the farm. You are in luck! We’ve got a case of Speer’s law enforcement grade Gold Dot ammunition, and we can put your name on it in a matter of minutes.
The Gold Dot is more than just a jacketed hollow point. Thanks to the magic of electrochemical bonding, the Gold Dot’s jacket is soundly fused to its alloyed lead core. Heavy fabric, wallboard, even sheet metal – the Gold Dot pierces all of these barriers so it can continue on and burrow deeply into its target. The Gold Dot’s hollow point is formed during two stages. The first sets the width it can expand to, while the second ensures it expands at a steady, predictable rate.
CCI primers and select propellant ensure that you’ll get a super-predictable 945 fps muzzle velocity (Speer recorded this round’s muzzle velocity with a 4” vented barrel; expect a lower muzzle velocity if you’re firing a snub nose, or a faster one if you’re firing a lever-action varmint slayer). Nickel-plated brass cases are still reloadable, but they’re also more corrosion resistant and smoother cycling than regular unplated brass.
This is +P ammunition. Do not fire it in any firearm that isn’t rated for 38 Special +P. It’s safe for all 357 Magnum firearms. -
Speer Gold Dot 38 Special +P 125 Grain JHP – 50 Rounds
$40.85Product Type Ammo Manufacturer Speer Condition New Bullet Weight 125 Grain Bullet Type Hollow-Point (HP) Use Type home defense, Subsonic Casing Type Nickel-Plated Brass Quantity 50 Ammo Caliber 38 Special Manufacturer SKU 53720 Primer Type Boxer Magnetic No UPC Barcode 76683537201 Cost Per Round 81.7¢ per round Do you prefer to carry a revolver for personal protection? Then you’re probably already a fan of the hallowed 38 Special – as well as its overpressure variant, the 38 Special +P. But if you aren’t yet acquainted with Speer Gold Dot, then it’s high time you give it a shot.
This is some of the best self-defense ammo you can choose for a 38 Special or 357 Magnum revolver (and a great pick for hunting as well). The Gold Dot jacketed hollow point wears a true bonded jacket, which Speer creates by submerging an alloyed lead core in an electrified chemical bath. In addition to possessing a uniformly thick jacket which enhances accuracy, the Gold Dot is abnormally tough – capable of conserving the vast majority of its weight if it has to rip through thick clothing or another barrier before accessing its target. And once its hollow point nose cavity connects with a soft medium, it commences exceptionally uniform terminal expansion.
Speer nestles their 125 grain Gold Dot in a nickel-plated brass case. Nickel reduces the force of friction so you can load and unload a cylinder quicker, and also shields the brass against corrosion. Nickel even makes the ammo shinier, which you might just appreciate if you ever have to find it in the dark in a hurry.
This is +P ammunition. Do not fire it in any firearm that isn’t rated for 38 Special +P. It’s safe for all 357 Magnum firearms. -
Hornady American Gunner 38 Special 125 Grain XTP JHP – 250 Rounds

That’s the eXtreme Terminal Performance – an unconventionally capitalized JHP that possesses the jacket concentricity and core uniformity requisite for pinpoint accuracy.
The XTP doesn’t merely seek out its target. It also delivers deleterious terminal ballistics inside of it thanks to its drawn gilding metal jacket. The jacket becomes thinner the closer it gets to the XTP’s rim, and the notches surrounding that rim strategically weaken the bullet even further. Even at lower velocities, the XTP remains remarkably effective.
The XTP’s jacket features the cannelure it needs to avoid setback in a revolver’s cylinder or lever-action rifle’s magazine, and also covers the nose cavity’s rim to help avert a poorly timed feeding jam. Hornady builds their American Gunner rounds with more than just high-quality bullets. These cartridges include the primo reloadable brass cases, Boxer primers and clean-burning powder that assure dependably functionality in all 357 Mag/38 Spl firearms. (900 fps muzzle velocity recorded with 4” test barrel.) -

Perfect! Just order 10 cases of Winchester Super-X Super Match! And if you don’t want quite that much, then we’re just as happy to ship a single case to your doorstep.
When you’re going hard on paper and cardboard with a thirty-eight, you really want a 148 grain lead hollow base wadcutter loaded to a muzzle velocity of 710 fps. That’s a low and slow muzzle velocity for a bullet of that weight, which means you’ll be looking at less felt recoil, less muzzle flip, and an easier time landing your follow-up shots precisely where you want them. The wadcutter’s base is slightly hollowed out, kind of like a champagne bottle’s. The hollow base promotes more accurate performance by helping the bullet align more closely with the bore axis, as well as by improving the bullet’s aerodynamic stability.
All of that overlooks the best part of a wadcutter’s performance: the clean hole it chops through its target! If you’re sick of the way round nose bullets tear up tight groups, then the wadcutter is here to make you feel all better.
Made in America. Brand new brass cases, which are reloadable. A great low-recoil, high-accuracy option for 357 Mag firearms as well! -

Give it Remington’s HTP label 38 Special +P ammunition, which accelerates its bullet to a muzzle velocity of 945 fps. At close range you’ll be certain to inflict more than the minimum 220 ft lbs of energy recommended for self-defense.
This round’s 125 grain SJHP bullet uses its energy very effectively. The jacketed hollow point’s semi-jacket is still complete enough to ensure deep penetration, and it helps to make certain terminal expansion spreads out across a uniform plane. The bullet’s nose cavity is engineered to deliver up to double diameter expansion – a wide wound channel, in addition to a deep one!
Remington selects their best brass cases, non-corrosive Kleanbore primers and clean-burning propellant for their HTP loads. This ammo is only suitable for firearms that are rated for +P, but it should run just fine through lever-action Henry rifles as well in case you’d like to do a little hunting. -
