Remington's exceptionally broad line of handgun ammunition covers a comprehensive range of calibers, bullet weights, and bullet styles. Why? Because in handgunning, there are more end-use applications than in any other category, and each loading is designed for a very specific purpose. Combine the quality of Remington components with Remington's superior performance, and it's easy to see why Remington is the first choice for so many handgunners.
Lead Round Nose
Versatile, general-purpose bullet for all revolvers.
The information below comes from our Gun Caliber Dictionary and is for
general reference only. It does not describe the specifications of this
particular item.
The 38 S&W (38 Smith & Wesson) was introduced as a blackpowder cartridge in 1877. Colt and S&W were already fierce competitors, each doing its own thing with its own cartridges. The 38 S&W thus uses a unique .361-inch bullet with a short .7752-inch case. Although no current handguns are so chambered the 38 S&W was extremely popular and ammunition is readily available. By today's standards it is a very mild cartridge, but its 200-grain load, though slow at 630 feet per second, remains a legendary personal defense round. A lighter 145-grain load at 685 fps is also manufactured.
