Your Questions Answered
Will this cycle in my revolver?
Yes. This is a standard .38 Special cartridge length. It’s designed to chamber and fire in any .38 Special or .357 Magnum revolver. We have not tested it in semi-automatic firearms.
What is the effective range?
This load is for very close-range use, typically under 15 feet. The pattern spreads quickly, making it suitable for small pests and snakes where precision isn’t required.
Is this considered a standard cartridge for transport?
Yes. This is loaded ammunition and must be transported in accordance with all local, state, and federal laws regarding the transport of centerfire pistol cartridges.
