Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use this ammunition in a 38 Special +P rated revolver?
Yes — this Sellier & Bellot load is standard 38 Special pressure, making it compatible with any revolver chambered in 38 Special, including those rated for +P. It is not a +P load, so it will produce less recoil and muzzle blast than +P variants, making it an excellent choice for extended practice sessions.
Is this 38 Special FMJ ammo suitable for self-defense?
FMJ ammunition is primarily designed for target shooting and training rather than self-defense. For personal protection, most experts recommend hollow point rounds that offer controlled expansion. This Sellier & Bellot 158 gr FMJ load is best used to build trigger skills and familiarity with your firearm at the range.
Are the brass casings from this ammunition reloadable?
Yes. Sellier & Bellot uses quality brass casings with Boxer primers, which means the spent cases can be reloaded using standard reloading equipment. This makes it a cost-effective option for handloaders who want to maximize the value of each box of ammunition purchased.
