This includes many revolvers and some lever-action rifles. It's important to note that while .38 Special can be safely fired in .357 Magnum revolvers, the reverse is not true - never use .357 Magnum ammunition in a .38 Special firearm.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Black Basin","offers":[{"title":"50","offer_id":48338591907940,"sku":"020892226005-50","price":30.88,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"100","offer_id":48509826138212,"sku":"020892226005-100","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"250","offer_id":48509826170980,"sku":"020892226005-250","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"500","offer_id":48338591940708,"sku":"020892226005-500","price":265.62,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"1000","offer_id":48338591973476,"sku":"020892226005-1000","price":494.39,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"2000","offer_id":48509826203748,"sku":"020892226005-2000","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0768\/6625\/6996\/files\/ASG38W.jpg?v=1777468876","url":"https:\/\/blackbasin.com\/products\/winchester-38-special-service-grade-130gr-fmj-fn-ammo","provider":"Black Basin","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
