Speer Hot-Cor 30 Cal 130gr Soft Point Flat Nose Bullets - 100ct

The Speer Hot-Cor 30 caliber 130-grain soft point flat nose bullets deliver controlled expansion and deep penetration for medium game hunting. These precision-formed projectiles feature Speer's proven Hot-Cor construction that bonds the lead core to the copper jacket during the manufacturing process.

What Makes This Different

The Hot-Cor bonding process creates a bullet that retains 85-90% of its original weight upon impact, significantly outperforming standard cup-and-core designs. While conventional bullets may fragment or separate at the jacket-core interface, Hot-Cor bullets maintain structural integrity through tough hide and bone. The flat nose profile creates a larger wound channel compared to spitzer designs, making it particularly effective on medium game at moderate velocities.

Key Features

• Hot-Cor bonded construction prevents core separation for maximum weight retention
• 130-grain weight optimized for .30-30 Winchester and similar cartridges
• Soft point flat nose design creates wider wound channels than spitzer bullets
• Precision-formed jacket ensures consistent expansion at 1,800-2,400 fps
• Flat nose profile safe for tubular magazine rifles
• Diameter: .308 inches with tight dimensional tolerances
• 100 bullets per box, 5 boxes per case for bulk loading

Field performance demonstrates reliable expansion on whitetail deer, black bear, and similar-sized game within 200 yards. The flat nose configuration makes these bullets ideal for lever-action rifles with tubular magazines where pointed bullets create safety concerns. Hunters report consistent performance in .30-30 Winchester, .300 Savage, and .308 Winchester when loaded to appropriate velocities. The bonded construction maintains trajectory stability even after impact with brush or light cover.
