The Speer 1624 delivers consistent expansion and deep penetration for medium game hunting with its proven jacketed soft point design. This 130-grain boat tail bullet maintains velocity downrange while providing reliable terminal performance on deer-sized game.
What Makes This Different
Speer's Hot-Cor process bonds the lead core to the jacket through electrochemical fusion, preventing core separation that plagues standard cup-and-core bullets. The boat tail design reduces drag coefficient by approximately 15% compared to flat-base bullets of similar weight. This construction delivers retained weight exceeding 85% in ballistic gelatin testing while maintaining controlled expansion at velocities from 1,800 to 3,000 fps.Key Features
- Hot-Cor bonded construction prevents jacket separation for maximum weight retention
- 130-grain weight optimized for flat trajectory in standard 7mm cartridges
- Boat tail design improves ballistic coefficient to 0.408 for extended range
- Jacketed soft point nose ensures reliable expansion on medium game
- Uniform jacket thickness maintains consistent accuracy shot-to-shot
- Lead antimony alloy core provides controlled deformation
- Bulk packaging reduces cost per round for serious hunters
