Description
Federal 38 Special Range Target Practice 130gr FMJ is built for shooters who want dependable .38 Special ammunition for range training, target shooting, and regular revolver practice. This 50-round box uses a 130 grain full metal jacket round nose bullet with brass cases.
The FMJ bullet is a practical choice for range use because it supports smooth loading, consistent function, and affordable practice. It is well suited for paper targets, skill-building, and routine range sessions in compatible .38 Special firearms.
Federal loads this RTP38130 cartridge with brass cases and non-corrosive components for reliable ignition and clean range performance. The 130 grain bullet weight gives revolver shooters a familiar training load with manageable recoil and consistent ballistics.
This load is listed at 890 fps with 229 ft-lbs of muzzle energy. That makes it a useful option for buyers who want a simple Federal range load for .38 Special practice without moving into premium defensive ammunition pricing.
This is FMJ target ammunition, not hollow point defensive ammunition. Buyers looking for lawful defensive-use preparation should compare .38 Special JHP or +P loads separately and confirm firearm compatibility before use.
