I posted this at the S&W forum and thought you all would enjoy commenting on this ammunition. I was told there these are .38 Special AMU, although it does not say that on the box or ammo....
Ok I know I am new to all of this, but this has me stumped. I bought these at a gun show over the weekend to shoot in my Vintage S&W M&P. Since the box said .38 Special Super Match, I thought they were just very accurate .38 special rounds.
1. The Rim is smaller by about .035 and is beveled.
2. All else is the same, case length, diameter etc.
3. I have NO Clue what grain size the wad cutter is, not marked on the box. They do seem very heavy though compared to the 158 grain Federal .38 special next to it.
4. The wad-cutter has two crimping lines on the case.
5. The head stamp on the wad cutter is Western - 38 spl - SR
shown with a vintage Federal 158 Gr .38 Special
What I need to know is, can I shoot these out of my .38 special S&W M&P? They seem to fit fine and the ejector will remove them from the cylinder.
If I can't shoot these out of my M&P, would any of you guys want these. I would trade them for 2 boxes reg either wad cutter or SWC or round nose .38 special. Or I would sell them for $35 + $8.00 S&H in the lower 48. BTW there are 45 rounds in the box, the way it came when I bought it.
