Customer Reviews for Fiocchi 38 Spc 148 Grain Lead Wadcutter 50rd box

This is great ammo for my S&W 52-2. cycles well, low recoil. my only concern for the future: i've had bad experiences reloading GFL cases. they tend to be soft to the point where the case folds back on bullet seat.

I'm relatively new to anything outside of 9mm handguns and 9mm ammo. Bought this to try out a variety of ammo in my Henry Big Boy X and yeah it doesn't work great. Sure you can single load directly in the barrel one at a time, but the super flat faced design of the wadcutter round makes it impossible to cycle load another round in. Granted people with experience with such rounds probably already know this going in. This review is mostly to warn off any other noobs like me from making the same mistake. Shoots great when loaded one at a time, just not quite convenient.

These 38 Special wadcutters feed, eject and are more accurate then my marksmanship in my Colt 1911 38 Super customized for 38 Special wadcutters. No more need to reload with the fair price and service from Buds.

works great. Delivery quick!

I tried this Fiocchi 38 special wadcutter ammo because I heard it offered less recoil for my Ruger LCR 38. It absolutely has reduced it and made the LCR much more enjoyable to shoot. In fact I just placed an order for some more. The previous order was for Fiocchi Traditional Line made in Italy and now it has been substituted with the Range Dynamics Line made in USA. I hope they work the same.

Got these for cheap range ammo. Not much to worry about with a .38 round, and they've given no cause for concern. Go boom every time.

Great bullets. Soft recoil and a big target hole!

Very enjoyable ammunition to shoot with minimal recoil.

It works and shoots well. Works like advertised.

THIS IS PERHAPS THE FINEST .38 TRAINING AMMO YOU CAN BUY, THAT WON'T WEAR YOU OUT OR BE UNCOMFORTABLE FOR A FEMALE OR FIRST TIME SHOOTER. BUY ENOUGH, BECAUSE YOU WILL WANT MORE. ON PAPER TARGETS THERE IS NOTHING BETTER THAN WADCUTTERS; LEAVING A NICE CLEAN, VERY VISIBLE HOLE THAT YOU CAN SEE WITHOUT A WALK TO THE TARGETS. THIS IS QUALITY.

Bought at a good price. Speedy delivery.

I was notified when these were in stock. I enjoy shooting these wadcutters because of less recoil and can also use as a protection round. Good service from Buds.

I bought this target round for my light weight 38 snub for practice without the punishment of recoil. 38 wadcutters were the standard practice ammo years ago and still make a great round today. Very accurate and easy shooting. Fiocchi has always worked well for me and this is no exception. Some people carry this for close range protection.

Perfect for lightweight snubnose revolvers. These Fioccis being among the slowest and lowest recoil of the major brands. The recoil of these using an LCR is just about equal to my P32, which is still impressively light. And you can't beat the price.
Might even stick with these as my carry ammo too. Faster wadcutters tend to over penetrate, which might have utility for hiking or backpacking, but I'd guess these slower Fioccis are more appropriate for EDC.

Good shooting ammo. I plan to buy more. I found it to be accurate and had no malfunctions.

I have used Fiocci ammo in various calibers and it has performed well in all circumstances. These .38 Special wadcutters are considered target loads but also work well as a defense load for snub nosed lightweight revolvers. Recoil is minimal and they are well handled by shooters who cringe at the hotter loads commonly called defense rounds.

This a level of service I'm not accustomed too... check this out - I order these rounds Sunday late afternoon the 14th hoping that it would go in the system first thing Monday morning on the 15th.. Hoping I would get it on the truck Tuesday morning for a delivery by Thursday at my location in Pearland Tx. Well,,, I placed the order late 14th, it goes in the system the morning of the 15th... The product is delivered to my door on Tuesday the 16th ??? Wow.... what service - oh,, and by the way - I have shot Fiocchi 148 grn Wadcutters for target practice for a long time - great practice round - Thanx again Guys !!!! Mark C.

Nice shooting wadcutters. Cleaner than some others.

It's high-quality ammo I'm sure but is so low powered that it will not even cycle my S&W Model 52-2 with an 8lb spring in it. I chronoed it and they average around 550 fps. I have never seen anything this slow.

These Fiocchi 148 Grain Lead Wadcutter's are fun to shoot. They are especially good for those that may be recoil sensitive as they produce very low recoil. I found them very helpful in helping me get over my recoil sensitivity and become more comfortable in shooting other types of bullets.
