The Winchester WB38HP110D delivers consistent expansion and reliable terminal performance for handloaders seeking premium .38 caliber projectiles. These jacketed hollow point bullets feature Winchester's proven construction methods that have supplied law enforcement and civilian shooters for decades. Each 500-count box provides exceptional value for high-volume reloaders working with .38 Special and .357 Magnum cartridges.
What Makes This Different
Winchester's jacketed hollow point design utilizes a copper-plated jacket with controlled expansion geometry that outperforms standard lead round nose bullets in terminal ballistics. The 110-grain weight sits in the sweet spot for .38 Special velocities, providing faster cycling than heavier projectiles while maintaining sufficient mass for reliable expansion. Factory quality control ensures consistent bullet weight variation within 0.5 grains across the entire lot.
Key Features
- 110-grain jacketed hollow point construction optimized for .38 Special velocities
- Copper-plated jacket reduces barrel leading compared to cast bullets
- Controlled expansion cavity designed for reliable mushrooming at 800-1000 fps
- Bulk 500-count packaging reduces per-round cost for volume reloaders
- Compatible with .38 Special and .357 Magnum cases
- Consistent 0.357-inch diameter with tight manufacturing tolerances
- Pre-cannelured design accommodates standard crimp dies
These bullets perform effectively across multiple shooting disciplines, from IDPA competition where reliable feeding matters to home defense applications requiring controlled expansion. The jacketed construction handles higher velocities than cast alternatives, making them suitable for +P loads when properly developed. Weather and storage conditions have minimal impact on the copper-jacketed surface, maintaining consistent performance over extended periods.
