Probably because they are the WRONG cartridge for your revolver. The most common mix up is between .38 S&W, and .38 Special. the .38 S&W is shorter and fatter, and does NOT interchange with the .38 Special. There are at least 6 different .38 pistol cartridges- such as .38 Short Colt, .38 Super, 38 New Police, etc
The term ".38 Special CTG" is an abbreviated way of saying .38 Special Cartridge. It is the caliber marking for a revolver that fires that cartridge. While it is NOW the most common .38 caliber cartridge, there are more than a dozen DIFFERENT .38 revolver catridges that were made at one time.
