The Magtech Range/Training .38 Special +P 158gr SJSP (brand part no. 38N) is manufactured to the same consistent standards Magtech Ammunition builds into every line it produces, more shooters trust it than any other value-focused brand for exactly that reason. The semi-jacketed soft point bullet exposes lead at the nose while the jacket keeps the base intact, giving a bullet profile that feeds reliably while still offering some expansion. Loaded to +P pressure, this round runs a step hotter than standard .38 Special for shooters whose revolvers are rated for it. In handgun ammunition for range practice, this is the round built to hold up to whatever the training day calls for.
