Frequently Asked Questions

Will Remington HTP 38 Special +P ammunition work in my revolver?

+P ammunition is rated for higher pressures than standard 38 Special loads. You must verify that your specific firearm is marked as "+P capable" before using these rounds. Check your owner's manual or contact the manufacturer if you're unsure. Using +P ammunition in firearms not rated for it may cause damage or unsafe operation.

What's the difference between 38 Special and 38 Special +P?

38 Special +P ammunition is loaded to higher pressures than standard 38 Special, delivering increased velocity and energy. This makes it more powerful but also increases recoil. Only firearms rated for +P ammunition should use these loads; standard 38 Special firearms are not designed for the higher pressures.

Is Remington HTP ammunition suitable for self-defense?

Remington High Terminal Performance ammunition is engineered for stopping power and terminal performance, with hollow point bullets designed for expansion. That said, ammunition choice for self-defense is a personal decision based on local law, firearm type, training, and individual needs. We recommend consulting local legal resources and conducting your own testing to ensure any ammunition meets your requirements.

Can I reload Remington HTP brass cases?

Remington HTP ammunition uses brass cases, which are typically reloadable. However, always inspect cases for damage before reloading, and follow standard safe reloading practices and guidelines for your specific equipment and caliber.
