Speer 2022 30 Cal 150gr Jacketed Soft Point Boat Tail Bullets

The Speer 2022 30 caliber 150-grain jacketed soft point boat tail bullets deliver consistent expansion and deep penetration for hunting medium to large game. These premium hunting bullets feature Speer's proven jacket design that maintains structural integrity while providing reliable terminal performance across a wide range of velocities.

What Makes This Different

Speer's Hot-Cor construction bonds the lead core to the jacket through a proprietary heating process, preventing core separation that can reduce penetration depth. The boat tail design reduces drag coefficient by approximately 15% compared to flat-base bullets, extending effective range and improving wind deflection resistance. This combination of controlled expansion and aerodynamic efficiency sets these bullets apart from standard cup-and-core designs.

Key Features

• Hot-Cor bonded construction prevents jacket-core separation for maximum weight retention
• Boat tail base design reduces drag and improves long-range ballistic coefficient
• 150-grain weight optimized for .30-06, .308 Winchester, and .300 Winchester Magnum
• Jacketed soft point nose ensures controlled expansion at impact velocities from 1,800-3,000 fps
• 0.308" diameter with precise tolerances for consistent chamber fit
• Bulk packaging of 100 bullets per box, 5 boxes per case (500 total bullets)
• Compatible with standard reloading dies and powder charges for .30 caliber cartridges

Field testing demonstrates these bullets maintain 85-90% weight retention while creating wound channels 1.5-2 times bullet diameter. The 150-grain weight provides optimal sectional density for deer, elk, and black bear hunting at ranges extending to 400 yards. Consistent jacket thickness ensures uniform expansion characteristics regardless of impact angle, while the boat tail configuration maintains supersonic flight longer than conventional designs.
