The Speer Hot-Cor .458 Caliber 350 Grain Soft Point Flat Nose bullet (brand part no. 2478) is a heavy big-bore hunting projectile from Speer, sold 50 to a box for .45-caliber handloaders. As with the rest of the Hot-Cor line, Speer pours molten lead directly into the jacket during construction to maximize consistency while keeping the bullet affordable, resulting in incredibly reliable all-range accuracy. The flat nose profile suits tubular-magazine lever guns and straight-walled big-bore cartridges where a pointed bullet would be unsafe.
