Does anyone have information regarding the ballistics of this round.....

As the title says, I'm curious as to what the ballistics are on this .38 special loading? It's a 130 grain FMJ .38 special made by Remington and is headstamped as being from 1965. Thanks!

This is also known as the M41 loading - 130gr. FMJ @ about 750 fps. Pretty wimpy, but excellent source of low-stressed, reloadable brass.
Hope this helps.

That was issue .38 Spl ammo, used by all the U.S. services (Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, possibly Coast Guard - don't know if the Coasties ever had .38 Spl revolvers). FMJ round nose, about 750 fps IIRC, not very stout, but it could be obtained through supply. I don't believe it is still issued, but it certainly was up through the late 1970s and/or early 1980s.

.38 Special M41 ammunition was declared obsolete in the late 1980s after adoption of the 9mm M9 pistol.

The brass reloads forever.

Thanks all! That is exactly the information that I was looking for

That is the load that the US Navy's MWD handlers were issued while I was in prior to switching to the M9.
