Underwood Ammo 732 38Special 150Gr Lead Wadcutter 20 Per Box/10 Case
Underwood Ammo 38 Special 150 Grain Lead Wadcutter ammunition is purpose-built for shooters who demand reliable, economical practice and training rounds. The 150-grain lead wadcutter bullet is a classic choice for .38 Special revolvers, delivering clean holes through paper and consistent performance at the range. This is new production ammo in reloadable, nickel-plated brass cases with boxer primers, so you can reload and shoot again—a real advantage for serious handgun enthusiasts.
At 1000 feet per second, these rounds are subsonic, traveling below the sound barrier. That means they're exceptionally quiet when fired and safe for use in suppressors if your setup allows it. With 333 foot-pounds of muzzle energy, the 38 Special wadcutter is mild-mannered enough for low-recoil practice on revolvers, yet the flat-nosed wadcutter design is known for defensive applications where controlled penetration and target creation matter. The lead bullet contains lead, so handle per EPA and local guidelines and wash hands after shooting.
Each box contains 20 rounds, and this product is sold in cases of 10 boxes (200 rounds total), making it ideal for committed handgun shooters and reloaders who want to stock up without breaking the bank. Underwood's non-corrosive formulation means brass stays clean and reloadable, and the consistent velocities keep your practice focused on fundamentals.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will these rounds work in my .38 Special revolver?
Yes. These are standard .38 Special centerfire rounds (0.357" bullet diameter) and will function in any revolver chambered for .38 Special.
Can I reload these brass cases?
Yes. The ammunition comes in reloadable, nickel-plated brass cases with boxer primers, making them suitable for reloading once fired.
Are these rounds safe to use with a suppressor?
Yes. The ammunition is specifically approved for suppressor use.
Why are these rounds subsonic?
The 150-grain lead wadcutter design and 1000 fps velocity are inherently subsonic, traveling below the speed of sound. This makes them exceptionally quiet when fired and reduces the supersonic crack associated with standard-velocity .38 Special loads.
