Local gunshop owner made me a great offer on some Winchester Ranger +P+ ammo. It was an unbelievable price for quality self defense loads($12.50 per box of 50 if I take 5 or more boxes he has about 8 or 9 in stock) the ammo looks great saw no issues when took some out of the box to inspect. My only question is can I safely shoot these out of SW 642 or my Ruger LCR. In the owners manual i see no reference to +P+ ammo. Both are rated at +P but does anyone know if these 2 guns can stand up to added pressure of +P+ ammo..
Here is a link to the same ammo he has http://www.sgammo.com/product/winchester/50rds-38-special-winchester-ranger-p-110gr-jhp-ra38110hp Thanks guys |

Quoted:
There is no industry standard for .38 Special +P+, but Winchester tries to keep each lot to under 27,000 psi. I would not use these in alloy framed 5-shot .38's. Personally, I do not see a compelling reason to go to +P+ anymore. This. If for no other reason than the recoil. I can't remember the last time I saw +p+ 38 ammo. Is it even made anymore? |
