Speer Hot-Cor 30 Cal 150gr Soft Point Flat Nose Bullets - 100ct

The Speer Hot-Cor 30 caliber 150 grain soft point flat nose bullets deliver consistent expansion and deep penetration for medium game hunting. This bonded core construction eliminates jacket separation issues that plague conventional soft point projectiles.

What Makes This Different

Speer's Hot-Cor process bonds the lead core directly to the copper jacket through electrochemical fusion, creating a unified projectile that maintains weight retention even at high velocities. Unlike standard cup-and-core bullets that can separate on impact, the Hot-Cor design ensures the jacket and core move as one unit through the target. The flat nose profile creates larger wound channels in soft tissue compared to traditional spitzer bullets.

Key Features

• Electrochemically bonded core prevents jacket separation
• 150 grain weight optimized for 30-06, 308 Winchester, and 300 Savage
• Flat nose design increases frontal diameter upon expansion
• Soft point construction initiates controlled expansion at hunting velocities
• 0.308 inch diameter with precise weight tolerance
• 100 bullets per box for extended shooting sessions
• Compatible with standard 30 caliber reloading dies

Field performance demonstrates reliable expansion at velocities from 1,800 to 2,800 fps across various game animals. The bonded construction maintains 85-90% weight retention even when striking heavy bone, ensuring adequate penetration on elk and larger deer. Terminal ballistics remain consistent whether used in lever-action rifles for brush hunting or bolt-action rifles for longer range shots.
