Details
Do you prefer a revolver for self-defense – or a lever-action rifle for dispatching varmints? Then snap up Remington’s High Terminal Performance 38 Special +P ammunition whenever you have the chance!
This cartridge’s bullet lacks any sort of jacket. Instead it is made of pure lead, with a nose cavity that permits rapid terminal expansion. The bullet receives extra momentum courtesy of the +P load’s boosted propellant charge. Expect to inflict over 250 ft lbs of energy even at at 50 yards, which coupled with judicious aim delivers more than adequate energy for personal protection. Its LHP bullet’s nose cavity and flat nose profile both make this ammo safe to load in a rifle’s tubular magazine.
HTP ammunition is loaded with Remington’s highest-quality reloadable brass cases, as well as clean-burning powder and non-corrosive Kleanbore primers. Any 357 Magnum firearm can safely fire this ammo, but if your revolver is chambered for 38 Special make certain it’s also rated for +P before firing this ammo.

Q: Will a K frame 38 special
Posted On: 3/4/2024 By: Alan M Kingsford
A: Thanks for reaching out Alan! I'm afraid I can't say for sure based on that info. K-frame 38 Special revolvers were introduced in 1899. Revolvers designed to safely fire 38 Special +P didn't come into prominence until the mid-1970s. If your revolver was made before 1972, then it's safe to conclude it's not able to handle the 38 Spl +P's hotter chamber pressure. Since I don't know when your revolver was made, I can only tell you that it's conventional for firearm manufacturers to engrave ".38 S&W Spl +P" on a barrel when it's designed to fire that kind of ammo. If your revolver doesn't have that marking, then it may be best to stick to standard pressure.
