The Remington UMC .38 Special 158 Grain LRN ammunition is a go-to choice for revolver shooters who want reliable, affordable centerfire rounds without cutting corners on quality. Whether you're putting in practice rounds at the range, running drills for defensive proficiency, or just plinking on a weekend, this 50-round box delivers the dependable performance that's made UMC a staple in American shooting for decades. The 158-grain lead round nose bullet is a classic .38 Special load—proven, forgiving, and accurate enough for target work and training.
Remington manufactures UMC ammunition domestically using quality components, so you get solid brass casings, reliable primers, and consistent powder charges in every round. Lead round nose bullets are gentler on barrel wear than some harder projectiles and generate minimal fouling, making them a practical choice if you're running high-volume practice sessions. The 50-round count gives you a convenient pack size for a range trip without the commitment of bulk buying.
.38 Special shooters—especially those running standard-frame or medium-frame revolvers—will find this load strikes a real balance between cost and consistency. It's not match-grade precision ammo, and it's not designed to be; it's honest, working ammunition for the shooter who values reliability and value. Stock this when you see it, because economical .38 Special rounds that actually work tend to move fast.

Frequently Asked Questions
What revolvers will this .38 Special ammunition work in?
This is a standard .38 Special cartridge, so it will chamber and fire in any revolver chambered for .38 Special, including J-frame, K-frame, and L-frame Smiths, Ruger Security-Six models, Taurus revolvers, and most other .38 Special revolvers. If you're unsure about your specific gun, consult its manual or have a gunsmith verify.
Is this ammunition suitable for self-defense, or is it just for target shooting?
This is a lead round nose load designed primarily for training, practice, and target shooting. For defensive carry, choose ammunition specifically engineered for that purpose, such as jacketed hollow point duty rounds.
