Speer Hot-Cor 35 Caliber 180gr Spitzer Soft Point Bullets 100ct

The Speer Hot-Cor 35 caliber 180 grain spitzer soft point bullets deliver consistent expansion and deep penetration for medium to large game hunting. This proven bullet design combines a soft lead core with a tapered copper jacket to create reliable mushrooming while maintaining structural integrity through bone and tissue.

What Makes This Different

The Hot-Cor manufacturing process bonds the lead core directly to the copper jacket during formation, eliminating the separation issues common with standard cup-and-core bullets. This results in 15-20% better weight retention compared to conventional soft points. The spitzer profile maintains velocity downrange while the controlled expansion design opens predictably at velocities between 1,800-2,800 fps.

Key Features

• Hot-Cor bonded construction prevents core-jacket separation
• 180 grain weight optimized for .35 caliber cartridges
• Spitzer profile for improved ballistic coefficient
• Soft point design initiates expansion on impact
• Tapered copper jacket controls expansion rate
• 100 bullets per box for extended shooting sessions
• Consistent .358 diameter with tight tolerances

Field performance shows reliable expansion across a wide velocity range, making these bullets suitable for everything from .35 Remington lever-action loads to high-velocity .358 Winchester applications. The controlled expansion typically doubles bullet diameter while retaining 85-90% of original weight. Penetration depth remains consistent through various media, providing predictable terminal performance on deer, elk, and similar-sized game.
