Speer Hot-Cor 45 Caliber 350gr Soft Point Flat Nose Bullets - 50ct

The Speer Hot-Cor 45 caliber 350-grain soft point flat nose bullets deliver controlled expansion and deep penetration for large game hunting and lever-action rifle applications. This 50-count box provides premium component bullets engineered with Speer's proven Hot-Cor bonding process for consistent performance.

What Makes This Different

Speer's Hot-Cor construction bonds the lead core to the copper jacket through an electrochemical process, preventing core-jacket separation during impact. The flat nose design feeds reliably in tubular magazines while the soft point initiates controlled expansion at hunting velocities. These 350-grain bullets maintain their weight better than conventional cup-and-core designs, delivering deeper penetration on heavy game.

Key Features

• Hot-Cor bonded core construction prevents jacket separation
• 350-grain weight optimized for .45-70 Government and similar cartridges
• Soft point flat nose design for tubular magazine compatibility
• Controlled expansion maintains 85-90% weight retention
• Uniform copper jacket thickness ensures consistent performance
• Precision swaged lead core for balanced weight distribution
• 50 bullets per box for extended shooting sessions

These bullets excel in lever-action rifles chambered for .45-70 Government, delivering reliable expansion on elk, moose, and bear at typical hunting ranges. The flat nose profile prevents bullet-to-bullet contact in tubular magazines while maintaining feeding reliability. Factory load data shows consistent velocities and pressures across temperature ranges, making these bullets suitable for hunting in varied conditions.
