(4 out of 5) Great for target practice!
by from Corpus Christi, TX on

Overall this is great practice ammo. Puts nice round holes in the target. Boxes arrived a little beat up, but every round went bang. The brass is reloaded and is from different manufacturers. Smokier and more residue than I was used to, but cleaned up no problem. For the price, you can't beat it. Getting ready to order another 250 rounds...

Very accurate in my 4 inch S&W 586. Punching clean beautiful circular holes in the targets many rounds passing through the same hole. Best 38 target ammo I have found. But smoky! Bought 5 boxes. Just ordered ten more boxes.

(5 out of 5) Accurate ammo.
by from Judsonia, Arkansas on

I got this ammo a couple of days ago. This was shipped in a timely fashion. I shot a couple of cylinder fulls out of an old Smith and Wesson Model 15-3, and it proved to be very accurate, like 6 shots in 3/4 at 13 yards, accurate. I wish I had ordered 1000 instead of 500.

(5 out of 5) Great ammo
by from Agawam, MA on

I wished I could get this again for years. Great standard pressure all-round ammo. This was the only 38-Special ammo I used many years ago. I have never had a bad round. I would even use it for self-defense. Even though the conventional wisdom says to only use new factory ammo for self-defense, in a revolver you don't have to worry about clearing a bad round - you just pull the trigger again. But like I said, I have never had a bad 3D round.

(5 out of 5) Great reloaded ammo
by from Newark, DE on

I bought 500 rds of this ammo to use with a new to me 1976 S&W 19-3 4 revolver. Took it out to the range and, wow! The combination of these rounds in this particular handgun is amazing. Very accurate ammo @ 7 and 15 yards. All the rounds I received are nickel and a mix of Winchester, Remington and Federal with a light mix of Peters, Western, CCI and Starline. The boxes are flimsy and a couple didnt make it in transit loose rounds floating inside the box but all the rounds were there and they appear to have been stored properly over the years. They didnt appear to be overly smokey I shot them outdoors and they aren't any more dirty than other ammo I have shot out of my fathers revolvers in the past. I'd recommend for the price!!

(5 out of 5) great deal
by from MONTROSE, Michigan on

Arrived in two days. Very well packaged. Ammo looks new, not remanufactured, tho I know it is. All the rounds were as accurate as my ability to hit what I was aiming at. No failures. Were used in two different types of Ruger revolvers. I am very pleased, would buy from again in a heartbeat.

(4 out of 5) Good value for target practice!
by from south Orange, NJ on

Initially ordered 3 boxes. Put a box of 50 through my GP100. No firing issues. Seemed a bit dirty but nothing normal cleaning and maintenance couldnt handle. Did notice a lighter and muted pop when immediately stepping up to incrementally heavier 38spl 125, 130, 158gr and 357mag 158gr loads. Overall a good value for target practice. Will be ordering another 13 boxes shipping cost is same for 7-13.

(5 out of 5) This is good ammo!
by from Port Angeles, Washington on

Bought a couple boxes to try out. All 100 rounds performed flawlessly in my Ruger LCR. Good accuracy. Great practice ammo. I just ordered 8 more boxes.

(4 out of 5) Good Wadcutters
by from Long Beach, CA on

When these arrived in the mail, I was somewhat apprehensive. The product packaging is of poor quality and both boxes had come open and I had loose cartridges rolling around inside the shipping box. Also there was a distinct smell of sulfur coming from them. I was concerned that I would have some misfires with them.

I finally got to the range and fired off one box and every one fired fine. And they made perfect round holes in the target.

They did seem to produce more smoke than I am used to.

I am happy and ordered 4 more boxes.
