Frequently Asked Questions
Is this ammunition compatible with .38 Special +P revolvers?
This Remington UMC load is standard-pressure .38 Special, not a +P load, making it suitable for all revolvers chambered in .38 Special — including older or lighter-frame guns that may not be rated for +P pressures. It is an excellent everyday practice round for both standard and +P-rated revolvers.
Can I use this FMJ ammunition for self-defense?
While FMJ ammunition is reliable and widely available, it is generally recommended for range training and practice rather than personal defense. For self-defense applications, a jacketed hollow point (JHP) load is typically preferred due to its controlled expansion and reduced over-penetration risk. Keep this UMC FMJ for the range and choose a dedicated defensive load for carry.
Are the brass casings from this ammunition reloadable?
Yes. Remington UMC ammunition uses factory-fresh brass casings that are fully reloadable, making this an even better value for handloaders. Once fired, the cases can be resized, reprimed, and reloaded using standard .38 Special reloading dies, helping you stretch your ammunition budget even further over time.
