The Speer Hot-Cor 264 caliber 140-grain spitzer soft point bullets deliver consistent expansion and deep penetration for medium to large game hunting. This bonded-core design prevents jacket separation during impact, maintaining weight retention for reliable terminal performance across various hunting scenarios.
What Makes This Different
The Hot-Cor bonding process fuses the lead core to the copper jacket at the molecular level, eliminating the core separation issues common with traditional cup-and-core bullets. This construction maintains 85-90% weight retention even after impact with heavy bone or dense tissue. The spitzer profile provides superior ballistic coefficient compared to round nose designs, extending effective range and reducing wind drift.
Key Features
- Bonded lead core prevents jacket separation for maximum weight retention
- 140-grain weight optimized for 6.5mm cartridges and medium game hunting
- Spitzer boat-tail design improves long-range ballistic performance
- Soft point construction ensures controlled expansion on impact
- Uniform jacket thickness provides consistent accuracy and terminal performance
- 100 bullets per box for extended shooting sessions or load development
- Compatible with popular 264 caliber cartridges including 6.5 Creedmoor and 264 Winchester Magnum
Field testing demonstrates reliable expansion at velocities from 1,800 to 3,200 fps, making these bullets suitable for both moderate velocity cartridges and high-performance magnums. The bonded construction maintains structural integrity through heavy bone, while the soft point initiates expansion quickly in soft tissue. Accuracy testing shows sub-MOA potential in quality rifle barrels when paired with appropriate powder charges.
