The Speer 2453 Hot-Cor .358 caliber 250 grain Spitzer Soft Point bullets deliver consistent expansion and deep penetration for medium to large game hunting. These precision-manufactured projectiles feature Speer's proven Hot-Cor bonding process that locks the lead core to the jacket, preventing separation on impact.
What Makes This Different
The Hot-Cor bonding process sets these bullets apart from standard cup-and-core designs by creating a molecular bond between the lead core and copper jacket. This construction maintains bullet integrity through bone and heavy muscle, delivering 85-90% weight retention compared to 60-70% for conventional soft points. The spitzer profile provides superior ballistic coefficient for flatter trajectories and retained energy at extended ranges.Key Features
