The G2 Research Telos .38 Special +P 105-Grain Fracturing Copper Hollow Point (part no. G00618) brings the same fracturing terminal design G2 Research built for 9mm into the snub-nose revolver world. Machined from solid, lead-free copper, the Telos bullet splits into seven separate petals on entering soft tissue, each cutting its own wound channel rather than relying on a single expanding cavity. Loaded to +P pressure, it’s built to squeeze real terminal performance out of a short-barreled .38 Special revolver carried for personal defense. This handgun ammunition is a dedicated defensive round for a compact revolver, not a range-practice load.

Key Specifications

• The caliber is .38 Special +P, loaded to elevated pressure to boost velocity from a short revolver barrel.
• The bullet weighs 105 grains, light-for-caliber to maximize velocity from the fracturing design.
• The bullet is solid copper, a lead-free, precision-machined construction rather than a jacketed core.
• On impact it fractures into seven pieces, each cutting a separate wound channel through soft tissue.
• The design targets snub-nose revolvers, where velocity loss from a short barrel can hurt standard JHP performance.
• The case material is brass, standard for reliable revolver chambering and extraction.
• Each box holds 20 rounds, the standard count for a premium defensive load.
• Cost runs about $0.83 per round, pricing typical of a specialty fracturing defensive round.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is a fracturing bullet different from a standard hollow point? Instead of expanding as one piece, the Telos breaks into seven separate copper petals on impact, each cutting its own wound channel through soft tissue.

Is this round built for snub-nose revolvers? Yes, its light-for-caliber, lead-free design is built to hold velocity and terminal performance even from a short-barreled .38 Special revolver.

Is .38 Special +P safe in any .38 revolver? Only revolvers rated by their manufacturer for +P pressure should run +P ammunition; older or lightweight-frame guns may not be rated for it.
