Details
These reloaded .38 Special rounds from Military Ballistic Industries (MBI) offer shooters top grade components at an inexpensive price. The cartridges are built using once-fired brass casings of varying origin that have been inspected for mouth integrity, wall thickness, and proper dimensions. Each case is filled with Hodgdon brand propellant and equipped with a Boxer primer from either CCI or Winchester which are both known manufacture clean-burning, non-toxic ignition mixtures. The round is topped off with 158 grain full metal jacket (FMJ) bullet from either Hornady or a Vista Brand (Federal/Speer/Blazer).
The FMJs will feature a flat point for safe compatibility with tube magazines as well as the ability to cut clean holes in paper or cardboard targets. This is important for hobbyists and competitors that want to break as much perforation as possible while maintaining easily measured groups. 158 grains is a common weight for the .38 Spl caliber and will exhibit performance on par with popular target and defense loads. MBI ammunition is American made using the latest in precision-oriented assembly technology. These rounds come loosely packed in a clear, sealed bag for easy transport and cost savings.

I shot some of this 38 Special in my local IDPA match last month. Each round cycled, no misfires, no squibs, and I was hitting the 15-20 yard targets in the -0 ring. This may be remanufactured, but it doesn't show. This is quality ammunition for target practice and local competition matches. Keep up the great work, Bulk Ammo and I will continue to buy this.

So far i recommend this site and the ammo advertised; especially since I live in california where its hard to get anything of good quality. I have purchased this ammo as well as .308 and 223 ammo. I had shot about 50 rounds of this ammo from my snub nose revolver at about 25 yds. 2 round did not for the first time but fired through the second pass. The rounds which I did fire were accurate and hit where they were aimed. The residue is a little heavy but great quality all around. (Posted on 9/6/14)

Pretty good deal for practice rounds. As it states, the shells have been used and recycled for new projectiles. I have not had any malfunctions or misfires with my S&W K frame revolver. And make no mistake, even though this is FMJ (full metal jacket) it is very very lethal. The only thing that makes FMJ less preferable to JHP for carry ammo is the fact that it passes through targets rather than spreading and stopping. It is still quite deadly. (Posted on 11/25/12)

This ammo has worked perfectly for me. I have no complaints, only praise! The ammo prices at BulkAmmo.com are way less expensive than buying from my local dealers. I have used both .38 Special and .40 S&W ammo and both have worked perfectly. This is the only store I will buy my ammo from in the future. Thanks BulkAmmo.com. Highly recommend!!!!!
