Fiocchi Range Dynamics Ammunition 38 Special 130 Grain Full Metal Jacket Box of 50

Hit point of aim with my Smith and Wesson 36. Little bitty groups. Works so far.

I bought a couple of boxes of this ammo a while back. I just got back from the range. I had these, Buffalo Bore and Double Tap.Smith & Wesson 638. OMG! potent and extremely accurate! The other stuff was almost black powder smokey; the DTs were paff: that’s all; just paff. I’m ordering more Ultimate Defense today. The other stuff is range ammo now.

Keep this ammo loaded in S&W 642 airweight. Mostly as backup, but sometimes light clothing carry weapon. Accurate, hard hitting, and STOUT. Recommend it.

I was surprised when I received this ammo, the box says for full size handgun. I’m glad I intended to carry these rounds in my L frame, 7 shot, 357 mag 386 PD. I’m not sure what the difference would be carrying these rounds in a small J frame. I’ve read comments the loads are stout which is good in my opinion. The big question is what is a full size handgun in Remington’s opinion. I feel confident in carrying this ammo. I like the fact that the bullet sticks out from the case quite a distance which puts the bullet about where a 357 Mag bullet might be reducing the cylinder-barrel bullet jump. Does Remington have a better 38 special round for my 2.5 inch barrel revolver? I don’t know, but we might not find out if Remington goes under from bankruptcy. Wait and see.

This is available in +P but I opted for the extraordinary ordinary stuff (non +P) for my new Ruger Light Compact Revolver with External hammer, thus the model’s name the ‘LCRX.’ Since this revolver has the copper colored cylinder and looks so cool I didn’t want to scrimp on what kinda ammo fills those cylinder ports so I got this Underwood Xtreme with solid copper projectile. Performance consideration aside (nothing not to like about this), it weighs in at only slightly over 16 oz. Note the empty weight of the LCRX is only 13.5oz and, despite the light weight is rated for +P. In sum, awesome ammo for awesome new revolver.

Down the barrel and into the target
I used these at a recent IDPA shoot in my S&W 686, 4 inch. The rounds performed well, or at least as well as I did. Seemed clean with no problems. As usual zonearms did a great job of getting them to me.

I don’t understand the great reviews! I shot 2 rounds into a seasoned cotton wood stump and the penettation was the only good thing I found if you consider that a good thing. After retrieving the 100 grain bullet it looked almost like it did when I fired it. Little to no expansion

Found myself with some time and some aged full one inch rough cut oak. Fired at 5 yds, these punched through three and heavily gouged the fourth. Perfecta 158 fmj drilled two and dented third; Rem 125 jhp +P punched first and marred second. Rio 20 gauge 1 buck , by comparison, shredded first with all pellets stuck in second. Earlier tests on water filled one gal paint cans showed penetration equal to fmj, with first can “pop” similar to the jhp.

Really nice
I really like these cartridges. They were clean firing and consistent velocity. Very nice to use in my Model 10.

I use this in a derringer as my extreme backup. It tore a milk jug of water to shreds.
