Federal 38 Special 158gr LRN – Proven 38 Special Range Ammo, 770 fps, 50 Rounds

Description

The Federal 38 Special 158gr LRN load is built for shooters who want more from their 38 Special than typical factory ammunition delivers. Federal loads a 158 grain lead round nose to a rated 770 feet per second, producing about 208 foot-pounds of energy. Federal American Eagle is the company’s everyday training line, built to shoot clean and feed reliably so you can put real volume through your rifle or pistol without paying premium-hunting-load prices. It is meant for practice, qualification and plinking rather than hunting or defense.

• 158 grain lead round nose bullet

Built for Training and Practice

• Affordable load for regular range practice
• Reliable feeding and ignition
• Consistent velocities for repeatable practice
• Quality brass cases

Buying ammunition by the box from the same production lot keeps velocity and point of impact consistent from one range trip to the next. Keep a record of the load you carry, check your ammunition for dents or loose bullets from time to time, and rotate your carry rounds so the ones in your firearm stay fresh. These simple habits help you get the full performance Federal builds into every cartridge.

Before you trust any new load, fire enough rounds through your firearm to confirm it feeds, fires and ejects reliably and that the point of impact matches your sights. Full-power loads produce more recoil and muzzle blast than typical range ammo, so practice with the Federal 38 Special 158gr LRN until you are comfortable with it, and store the rest in a cool, dry place in the original box.

The .38 Special was introduced by Smith and Wesson in 1898 and served as the standard police cartridge in the United States for most of the twentieth century. It remains one of the most popular revolver cartridges in the world thanks to its mild recoil and accuracy, and it can be fired in any revolver chambered for .357 Magnum.
