For those who carry or shoot their J frame. What ammo do y’all run

[JDinAZ]

I've been working a new project lately and got to wondering while working in a segment of it what ammo do folks carry in their J frame

If you don't carry yours feel free to jump in also with what ammo you usually shoot in it.

I've got a ton of Winchester white box 38 so that's what I carry and shoot in mine.

 

[Mike SC Hunter]

150 gr hard cast semi wadcutters.

 

[pasound]

146gr wadcutters for practice, 110gr Win Silvertip for carry.

 

[jeeps]

158 hard cast SWC standard pressure for all purposes.

 

[31FordA]

Speer 135gr +P Gold Dot Hollow Point in my Model 340. I use 130gr FMJ for practice.

 

[zzclancy]

Buffalo Bore 150 grain Hard Cast Full Wadcutter.

 

[Baltimoreed11754]

Hornady Critical Defense .38 spcl +P.

 

[eb07]

Self defense= speer gold dot +p 135 gr



My alternative is 148gr wadcutters for both sd and practice


Practice= 130gr hardcast loaded to match the above velocity

 

[gmarshall99]

Hornady critical defense lite.

 

[Kentucky Dave]

148 gr wadcutter in my Model 49... They did fine for my CCW requalification recently, too, at 3, 5, 7, and 10 yards.

The same ammo that I was issued on the PD years ago:

125 grain Remington +P JHPs. Nothing fancy, but ammo with proven performance.

For practice any of my cast 150 grain or 158 grain SWC. There's a difference in POI, but I'm aware of that.

I don't carry My Model 60-7 all that much but I carry I think they used to call it The treasury Load Winchester 110 grain Silvertip Hollow Points,It gets carried the most during hunting season then it has 2 CCI Snake Shot & 3 of the Silvertips

Regular, everyday wadcutters-------WW.

[K Harris]

Winchester 148 grain HBWC for carry. The least expensive 148 grain HBWC I can find for practice.

 

[haywood]

In all my J-Frames I carry 135gr. Speer Gold Dot HP 38+P. I practice with various brands in 130gr. Metal case Bullet. Standard 38 special.

 

[mikerjf]

Remington FBI loads - the modern flavor.

 

[SixgunFife]

I carry a 642 daily in a pocket holster. My carry ammo for it is a standard-pressure JHP load from Hornady (maybe 125 grain? - I'd have to confirm).

Range ammo is whatever standard-pressure FMJ or LRN load I've brought with me to the range.

 

[Baxter6551]

Hornady critical defense non plus P

 

[jglsprings]

148 gr BBWC - copper plated

Practice with what I carry.
