Ultramax Ult-38-1-N 38 Special 158-grain ammunition delivers a reliable, affordable option for handgun shooters who need consistent performance at the range or for practice. Built with a 158-grain projectile in a plated flat-point configuration, this round is engineered for controlled expansion and straight-line penetration—characteristics that appeal to shooters using .38 Special revolvers and compatible handguns. Whether you're zeroing a defensive load, running drills at the range, or building confidence with your carry gun, Ultramax ammunition provides the consistency you need without breaking the bank.

Ultramax has built a reputation for delivering quality reloaded and new ammunition at competitive prices. This particular load pairs the proven 158-grain bullet weight—a popular standard-pressure choice for .38 Special shooters—with plated brass technology that helps ensure smooth feeding and reliable ignition. The flat-point design is a traditional choice that delivers predictable ballistics and has proven itself over decades of use in training and defensive scenarios.

The 50-round quantity per box (packaged as 5 boxes of 10) makes this an economical pick-up for regular range sessions. If you shoot a .38 Special revolver or compatible semi-automatic, this is the kind of practical, no-frills round that keeps you in the field without apology.

Frequently Asked Questions

What firearms can I use this .38 Special ammunition in?

This 158-grain .38 Special round is compatible with any handgun or revolver chambered in .38 Special. Standard-pressure loads like this are commonly used in revolvers and semi-automatic pistols designed for the cartridge. Always verify your specific firearm's manual to confirm compatibility.

Is this suitable for defensive use or training only?

The 158-grain flat-point bullet is a traditional choice that has been used in both training and defensive loads. The intended use depends on your firearm choice and personal requirements; consult your local laws and your firearm's manual to determine appropriate applications.

What's the difference between a plated bullet and a jacketed bullet?

Plated bullets use a copper plating over a lead core, while jacketed bullets use a thicker copper jacket. Both are designed to reduce fouling and wear in your firearm. Plated rounds often cost less than traditional jacketed ammunition while maintaining reliable performance.

How much ammunition is in each box?

This product comes with 50 total rounds packaged as 5 individual boxes of 10 rounds each, making it convenient to portion out for multiple range trips or training sessions.
