Does anyone have any ballistic info on these old rounds. Any info on year of manufacture. These were the green box with the black legged tray.
They are the 158 Lead bullets with "Kleanbore" priming. The reason i ask is I got a box from the local gun shop, they were tucked away on one of his racks. I was purchasing a beautiful Model 10 Snub and needed some ammo, this was all he had in 38.
Any way I shot some of it when I got home, they had very good accuracy and having never shot a 38 before did not really know what to expect as far as recoil muzzle flash etc...
Then I reloaded some 38's with 158 grain Speer SJHP and 11.5 grains of IMR 4227, well the difference in recoil between the reloads and that Remington ammo was quite noticeable. I am wondering what the FPS was for these rounds, i suspect they would be considered +P+++ in this day an age.
Thanks for the info,
Ric
