Speer Lead 148gr .38/.357 Magnum Hollow-Base Wadcutter Bullets, 500-Count

Speer Lead 148-Grain .38/.357 Magnum Hollow-Base Wadcutter Bullets (Speer part no. 4618) use a technologically advanced multi-layer lube that solves one of the oldest complaints about cast lead bullets: barrel leading. The coating won’t burn off or melt in storage, which keeps bullets clean and dry to the touch and drastically cuts down on leading compared to older lube formulas. Built as a cold-formed LHBWC, this bullet is a classic choice for target and competition shooters running .38 Special or .357 Magnum wadcutter loads. Sold in bulk 500-count packs, it’s an economical option for handloaders shooting high volumes of wadcutter ammunition.
