New from Federal is Syntech Range .38 Special, the latest addition to the company's popular synthetic jacketed ammunition line. We first brought you the story of Federal Syntech ammunition in 2018.

For the .38 Special offering, Federal opted for a 147-grain, deep-seated bullet with the TSJ polymer jacket that helps to eliminate metal fouling, as well as drastically reducing damaging barrel heat and friction. What's more, this new round uses the Catalyst lead-free primer that provides fast, reliable ignition.

MSRP for Federal Syntech Range .38 Special is $28.95 per 50-round box. Learn more at fedreralpremium.com.
