FAQs

Q1. Is Steinel revolver ammo reloadable?
A. Yes. Our brass cases are designed for multiple reloads. Always inspect your spent casings before reloading to ensure they’re in good condition.

Q2. Do some revolver rounds have a visible rim on the case?
A. The rim adds to the aesthetic appeal and helps the cartridge seat securely in the cylinder and allows for easy extraction after firing. It’s one of the key differences between revolver and semi-automatic pistol ammunition.

Q3. Can I use revolver ammo in a semi-auto pistol?
A. Typically, no. Revolver cartridges have rims that prevent them from feeding properly in most semi-automatic pistols, unless the gun is specifically built for rimmed cartridges.

Q4. Does revolver ammo expire?
A. Ammo doesn’t technically expire, but it can degrade over time if stored improperly. Inspect older rounds for corrosion or discoloration before use.

Q5. Is revolver ammunition safe for all types of revolvers?
A. Most revolver ammo is safe for standard revolvers, but it’s important to match your ammo with the specific make and model of your firearm. Always check your firearm’s specifications for the appropriate caliber and load.

Q6. How often should I replace my revolver ammo?
A. Self-defense ammo should be replaced every 6-12 months, especially if exposed to heat, moisture, or temperature fluctuations. Practice ammo can be used for longer periods but should still be checked for corrosion.

Q7. Are revolver cartridges better for beginners?
A. Many beginners start with revolvers because they’re straightforward to load and operate. The ammo itself is easy to identify and handle, making practice safer and more approachable for new shooters.

Q8. Does revolver ammunition recoil more than pistol ammunition?
A. It depends on the caliber and gun weight. Larger revolver rounds like .44 Magnum kick noticeably harder than 9mm pistol ammo, while lighter loads such as .38 Special feel soft and manageable even in compact revolvers.

Q9. Can I mix different bullet types in the same revolver cylinder?
A. Technically, yes, as long as they’re the same caliber. But it’s not recommended. Different bullet weights and pressures can affect recoil, point of impact, and accuracy. It’s best to load the same ammo type for consistent performance.

Q10. Can I use the same ammo in all revolvers?
A. No. Always check the caliber markings on your firearm. Using the wrong cartridge can cause damage or injury. For example, a .357 Magnum revolver can safely shoot .38 Special rounds, but not the other way around.
