Default Palmetto State Armory ammo....

On their web-site they have Win. 38 sp. 130-gr. fmj (4171) and in the picture it is shown with a flat-nose bullet. Problem is, I have never seen it loaded with anything other than a RN bullet.

What y'all make of this? Is there something I'm missing?

You mean, Winchester recently changed this load to a flat point bullet?
I've got 400 rnds. of the RN. I wonder why they changed....

I bought a box of Winchester 130 grain FMJs about five years ago at Wal-Mart. It had flat point bullets.
It was accurate and shot to the same point of aim in my Smith snubnoses as my 158 grain LSWC reloads. I didn't expect that.

Wow! this is really a mystery. The 400 rnds. with the RN bullets were bought from Wal-mart less than a year ago.

On the Win. web-site, item# 4171 is shown/listed with the RN fmj bullet. They don't even list a 38 sp. with a FP fmj.
This is weird.
