Federal Champion .38 Special ammunition delivers dependable, affordable performance for shooters who log serious rounds downrange. This 50-round box of 130-grain full metal jacket loads is built for high-volume target practice and range training, where consistency matters and budget counts. Federal backs every round with quality brass, reliable primers, and tight QC that keeps your gun running smooth from the first shot to the last round in the box.
These loads are new production, non-corrosive, and loaded into boxer-primed brass cases—meaning you can reload them once you're done shooting if you're into handloading. That reloadable brass adds real value over time, especially if you're the type who shoots enough .38 Special to make brass recovery worthwhile. Whether you're zeroing a new defensive revolver, working on accuracy fundamentals at the range, or just putting rounds downrange for practice, Champion ammo gives you the bang-for-buck that lets you focus on your shooting instead of your wallet.
At 890 feet per second and 229 foot-pounds of energy, these 130-grain FMJ rounds deliver the consistent, manageable ballistics that make .38 Special a favorite for target work and training. The full metal jacket construction means reliable feeding in semi-auto platforms and traditional revolvers alike, without the mess or fouling you might see from cheaper, corrosive stuff. Federal's reputation in American ammunition is built on exactly this kind of honest, no-nonsense performance—and it shows in every box.

Yes. Federal Champion ammunition comes in boxer-primed brass cases, which means you can reload them after firing. This makes them a smart choice for shooters who reload and want to maximize value from their brass.
These are standard .38 Special rounds and will function in any .38 Special revolver or compatible firearm. The 130-grain full metal jacket design feeds reliably in both revolvers and semi-auto platforms chambered in .38 Special.
No. Federal Champion is non-corrosive, so you don't have to worry about accelerated rust or pitting inside your barrel or chamber. That said, good cleaning habits after any range session are always the smart move.
Federal Champion is built for target practice, range training, and high-volume shooting. The consistent, moderate ballistics and affordable per-round cost make it ideal for shooters who want to practice often without breaking the bank.
