Atomic Ammo .38 Special +P 148Gr. Wc Up-Side-Down 50-Pack
Finally, a commercially loaded, 38 Special +P upside down hollow base wadcutter. This is the ammo that you have always wanted to carry but couldn’t find in stores. This is the load that your Uncle Joe and his retired cop buddies sit around and tell stories about at the doughnut shop. You know, that story about the time when they fired all six rounds of “Widow Maker” service ammo from their police specials, then Joe did a New York reload and drew his little 5 shot snubby and it only took one of these to put the bad guy down. You know, the one with the bullet that the coroner said expanded to almost the size of a quarter. Well we have it, and now you can too.

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 Special (38 S&W Special, 38 Colt Special) was introduced in 1902. It is essentially a slightly extended 38 Long Colt case, length 1.1551 inches, with operating pressure increased from 13,000 to 17,000 psi. Bullet diameter is .357-inch. The 38 Special became the gold standard personal defense revolver cartridge and was standard among most American law enforcement agencies for many years. Bullet weights vary from 110 to 158 grains, with a 158-grain bullet at 800 feet per second the most common. In the 1960s pressure was increased again to 18,500 psi, creating the 38 Special +P load, with increased velocity and energy. 38 Long and Short Colt ammunition can be fired in any 38 Special chamber, but not the reverse. 38 Special +P is safe in modern steel-frame 38 Special revolvers, but should not be used in aluminum-frame 38 Special revolvers. 38 Special remains a standard and popular revolver chambering.
