Description

Speer 38cal/357 158gr Lead SWC HP Plinker (500 Value Pack) #4628

Speer cold-formed lead bullets have a high-tech, multi-layer lubrication system. Simply put, this fantastic lube is the best thing in lead bullets. It adheres to the bullet rather than burning off, virtually eliminating the gas cutting that causes the majority of leading problems. It is clean and dry to the touch and will not melt off during storage or transportation. Speer lead bullets are now even more affordable for target shooting or plinking.

FAQs

Q: What is the benefit of the SWC hollow point design?
A: It combines clean-cutting target performance with the potential for expansion at suitable velocities, making it more versatile than standard SWC bullets.

Q: Is this suitable for both .38 Special and .357 Magnum?
A: Yes, it can be used in both cartridges with proper load data.

Q: What is this bullet best used for?
A: Ideal for target shooting, plinking, and general-purpose revolver use with added flexibility for light field applications.

Q: Does the hollow point always expand?
A: Expansion depends on velocity; at lower target loads it may behave like a standard SWC, while higher velocities can promote expansion.

Q: Are these suitable for high-velocity loads?
A: They are best used at low to moderate velocities; higher speeds may increase barrel leading due to the soft lead construction.
