Federal AE38LF1 American Eagle IRT Training 38 Special 100 gr Lead-Free IRT 50rd Bx

Federal American Eagle IRT Training 38 Special lead-free ammo is built for shooters who want clean, safe practice without compromise. This 100-grain load pairs a fully encapsulated copper bullet with a toxic metal-free primer, letting you train indoors or at outdoor ranges without the hazards of airborne lead exposure. Whether you're working on fundamentals at an indoor range, running defensive drills, or simply stacking rounds downrange, IRT ammunition delivers the ballistic performance of self-defense loads at a price that doesn't punish your budget.

The encapsulated design isn't just about safety—it's about versatility. You can shoot on ranges with strict lead-free policies and know your barrel stays cleaner than it would with traditional ammunition. The 50-round pack gives you a practical quantity for a range session or training block without bulk.

Federal's American Eagle line has long been the go-to for shooters who refuse to sacrifice quality for value, and the IRT variant carries that reputation forward. If you're serious about training and want ammunition that keeps pace with your commitment to clean, responsible shooting, this is worth running through your revolver or semi-automatic.
