Magtech Sport Shooting .38 Super +P 130-grain Full Metal Jacket ammunition (brand part no. 38S) answers a simple need: affordable, accurate ammo for shooters who put hundreds of rounds downrange every session. Magtech loads this round to +P pressure, sending the 130-grain FMJ bullet out at roughly 1215 fps and 426 ft-lbs of muzzle energy for flat-shooting, consistent practice ammunition. The full metal jacket bullet is built for accuracy and function, not expansion, so every round feeds and strikes the same way, shot after shot. Magtech assembles the cartridge on boxer-primed, reloadable brass loaded with non-corrosive propellant, keeping the barrel cleaner and the brass usable for another loading. For target practice, plinking, and match prep in .38 Super, this is dependable, affordable volume ammunition.
