Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use this 38 Special LRN ammunition in a 357 Magnum revolver?
Yes. Because 38 Special is the parent cartridge of 357 Magnum, it can be safely fired in any revolver chambered for 357 Magnum. This makes it a popular choice for reducing recoil and cost during practice sessions with a 357 Magnum revolver. Always verify your firearm's manual for confirmation.
Is lead round nose ammunition suitable for indoor shooting ranges?
Many indoor ranges restrict or prohibit lead round nose ammunition due to airborne lead concerns and the absence of a full metal jacket. Before heading to the range, check with your facility about their specific ammo policies. For outdoor ranges and private use, LRN is widely accepted and commonly used.
Is the brass casing from Sellier & Bellot 38 Special reloadable?
Yes. Sellier & Bellot uses Boxer-primed brass casings, which are fully reloadable. This makes their ammunition a popular option among reloaders who want to recoup costs and customize their loads after an initial range session. The quality brass is known to hold up well through multiple reloading cycles.
