The Armscor USA Competition .38 Special 158 gr LRNFP ammo is a lead round nose flat point cartridge built for shooters who want reliable, affordable practice and competition rounds. At 158 grains, this load strikes a balance between velocity and recoil control—useful for handgun competitions, range sessions, and shooters who prefer the ballistics of a heavier .38 Special projectile. Armscor ammunition is manufactured by one of the world's oldest and largest ammunition producers, bringing industrial consistency to a round that won't break your reloading budget or your competition schedule.
The lead round nose flat point (LRNFP) design is a classic for target work and formal competition. The flat point helps with consistent feeding and chambering in most .38 Special revolvers and semi-automatic platforms, while the lead construction keeps costs down without sacrificing reliability. Whether you're working on fundamentals at the range, prepping for a steel challenge, or just need dependable rounds for regular practice, this ammo delivers the performance you'd expect from a major manufacturer at a price that makes frequent shooting realistic.
Each box contains 50 rounds, making it easy to stock up for a full range day or practice session. Armscor's quality control and long history in ammunition manufacturing mean you're getting consistent primer ignition, uniform powder charges, and reliable performance round after round—no surprises, just steady shooting.
