Frequently Asked Questions
Is this ammunition safe to use in .38 Special +P-rated revolvers?
Yes, this Remington HTP load is a standard-pressure .38 Special cartridge, making it compatible with all .38 Special revolvers including snub-nose models and older firearms not rated for +P pressures. Always consult your firearm's owner's manual to confirm compatibility before use.
How does the SJHP bullet design perform for self-defense?
The Semi-Jacketed Hollow Point (SJHP) bullet is specifically engineered for personal protection. Upon impact, the hollow point cavity initiates rapid expansion to roughly double the bullet's original diameter, creating a wider wound channel while slowing over-penetration — a critical balance for defensive use inside the home or in populated environments.
Can the brass cases from this ammunition be reloaded?
Yes. Remington uses first-quality brass cases that are fully reloadable, making this ammunition a cost-effective choice for handloaders who want to reclaim spent brass. The cases are boxer-primed for easy decapping and compatible with standard .38 Special reloading dies.
