Description
The CorBon 38 Special +P 100gr PowRBall load is built for shooters who want a proven 38 Special +P round from a company that helped shape modern high-velocity handgun ammunition. Each box holds 20 cartridges loaded with a 100 grain Pow’RBall hollow point bullet rated at 1150 feet per second, producing about 294 foot-pounds of muzzle energy. The Pow’RBall design places a polymer ball in the nose of a hollow point bullet, giving it a rounded profile that feeds smoothly like full metal jacket ammo and drives the hollow point open on impact.
This 38 Special 100 grain hollow point is the fastest load in the CorBon 38 Special lineup, built to expand quickly from the short barrels of carry revolvers.

Why Choose the CorBon 38 Special +P 100gr PowRBall
- 100 grain Pow’RBall hollow point bullet
- Rated 1150 fps muzzle velocity, 294 ft-lbs energy
- Rounded nose profile for smooth, reliable feeding
- Polymer ball starts expansion even through heavy clothing
- 20 rounds per box, item PB38100/20
Built for Personal Protection
- Carry and home-defense handguns chambered in 38 Special +P
- Shooters who want a high-velocity defensive load
- Practice sessions to confirm point of impact with your carry ammo
- Keeping one consistent lot of ammo in your carry gun and range bag
Before you trust any new defensive load, fire at least 50 to 100 rounds through your handgun to confirm it feeds, fires and ejects reliably and that the point of impact matches your sights. Rotate your carry ammo every so often, and store the rest in a cool, dry place in the original box so the cartridges stay clean and easy to identify by lot number.
Short-barrel revolvers are harder to shoot well than full-size pistols, so regular practice matters. Fire a few cylinders of the CorBon 38 Special +P 100gr PowRBall to learn its recoil and point of impact, then use lower-cost practice ammo to build your skills with the same revolver you carry.

Why Choose CorBon 38 Special +P Ammo
Short revolver barrels rob velocity, which can keep ordinary hollow points from opening. The CorBon 100 grain Pow’RBall answers with a light bullet rated at 1150 fps and 294 foot-pounds, and the polymer ball in its nose helps start expansion even at the lower speeds a snub-nose revolver produces. The lighter bullet also keeps felt recoil manageable in lightweight frames.
When you compare 38 special self defense ammo, the rounded Pow’RBall nose offers another advantage: it slides into the cylinder easily with speedloaders and speed strips. It pairs well with the Smith and Wesson J-frame and Airweight revolvers, the Ruger LCR and SP101, the Colt Cobra and Kimber K6s. Always confirm your revolver is rated for +P ammunition before use.
CorBon has built high-velocity defensive ammunition in South Dakota since 1982, when the company set out to solve a common problem: hollow points that plugged with clothing and failed to expand. That focus on real-world performance is still at the heart of every box. Corbon 38 special +p ammo is loaded to tight standards so shot-to-shot velocity stays consistent, which helps you build confidence in the same load you train with and carry.
Concealed carriers who rely on a small revolver, and shooters who want quick expansion with manageable recoil, will find this load a practical choice. Always confirm your firearm is chambered for 38 Special +P, wear eye and ear protection, and follow all federal, state and local laws.
