Compatibility
The 38 Special +P brass is compatible with all standard 38 Special firearms, including revolvers, pistols, and vintage models. It is also suitable for conversion rifles chambered for 38 Special and for custom load development.
Performance Insights
When loaded to +P specifications, shooters can expect a velocity increase of 50‑100 ft/s over standard pressure loads, translating to improved terminal performance and flatter trajectories. The robust case walls maintain structural integrity even under repeated high‑pressure cycles, minimizing the risk of case head separation.
Reloading Tips
- Inspect each case for dents or cracks before loading.
- Resize and trim to the recommended 1.525 in length for optimal chamber fit.
- Deburr the case mouth and chamfer to ensure smooth bullet seating.
- Use a reliable powder charge chart specific to +P loads; never exceed recommended pressure limits.
- Check for proper primer seating; a uniform primer depth contributes to consistent ignition.
