38 special pellet ammo?

[32 Magnum]

Multi shot .38 Spl

The ammo was called "STRIKE THREE" and consisted of three lead balls of .357 cal. - not standard 000 buckshot - with a clear plastic capsule similar to the CCI "snake shot" rounds. I have a couple original packages of 10 rounds - but it is locked up at another location so I can't check the manufacturer's name right now. If I remember correctly it was a Philipino company, probably Armscorp that made the original stuff. As stated, the intention was to provide three hits with lighter than caliber pellets, cause more initial damage, less overpenetration and be safe to use in-house where penetration of partition walls was a concern. I haven't seen it offered for quite a few (maybe 8) years.

M2Carbine,
We appreciate the time, trouble, pics, and info on your above thread.

You mentioning the 9x18.........I feel that cartridge (with a single bullet, that is) is inherently accurate. I wish somebody would make a target/bullseye grade gun, revolver perhaps, for that cartridge.

Yes the Makarov round (9x18) is accurate. It's unusual to find a brand of ammo that isn't accurate and I believe the lead handloads are the most accurate.
I never thought of it but I'd like to see a good revolver chambered in the 9x18.

There used to be some commercial loadings like that, Tri ball or something like that. Three cone shaped bullets that stacked on top of each other. It was a short lived fad that never went anywhere. Myself if I need multiple projectiles with each trigger pull I'm using a 12 guage and buckshot.
