Speer .38 Cal 158 gr Lead Semi-Wadcutter Bullets (Speer part no. 4624) are Speer’s straightforward plinking and target load for .38/.357 handloaders who don’t need a hollow-point cavity. The multi-layer lubrication system stays bonded to the bullet rather than burning off in the bore, which virtually eliminates the gas cutting that typically causes leading in cast-lead loads. For target shooting or economical high-volume plinking, a plain lead semi-wadcutter is hard to beat on cost, and the flat-shouldered profile still cuts a clean, scoreable hole in paper targets.
