Wow, p0838- I've never seen that one- only the Remingtons. Do you have any info on it- ballistics, when manufactured, etc?

I have no information on it.
I did have the full box for sale on this forum but no takers.
The end flaps are missing, oterwise a nice hard to find box with all 50 rounds.
I have lowered the price for now to $75.00 shipped to lower usa

All three of these pre-war loads mention the 38/44 guns on the label. The metal piercing is rated at 1,175 fps while the other 2 are 1,115 fps.

P0838: Do yours have the Super Speed headstamp?
