Lehigh Defense Wide Flat Nose bullets in .458 Caliber, 380 grains (brand part no. 04458380SP), are a monolithic copper bullet with a large flat meplat built to maximize wound channel diameter, bullets built for big-bore lever-action hunting. Sold 50 per box, these are component bullets for handloaders who want to build their own .458 Caliber ammunition rather than buy factory loads. Lehigh Defense’s reputation in this bullet line comes down to consistent weight and dimensional tolerances from bullet to bullet, which is what lets a handloader actually realize the accuracy a well-built rifle or pistol is capable of.
Key Specifications
- .458 Caliber, matching this bullet to that bore diameter.
- 380 grains, a weight suited to big-bore lever-action hunting.
- Built on Lehigh Defense’s Wide Flat Nose platform: a monolithic copper bullet with a large flat meplat built to maximize wound channel diameter.
- Sold 50 per box — component bullets only, no cases, primers, or powder included.
- The wide, flat nose profile is built to cut a larger diameter wound channel than a round-nose bullet of the same caliber.
- Monolithic copper construction means there’s no lead core to separate from a jacket on impact.
- The heavy 380-grain weight suits big-bore lever-action cartridges like .45-70 Government.
- Flat-nose profiles like this are also safer in tubular magazines than a pointed bullet.
- Lead-free, all-copper construction meets game-meat and range regulations in areas that restrict lead projectiles.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are cases, primers, or powder included? No. These are component bullets only — you’ll supply your own brass, primers, and powder as part of handloading.
What is the Wide Flat Nose bullet built for? Lehigh Defense’s Wide Flat Nose line is built for big-bore lever-action hunting.
Why a flat nose instead of a pointed bullet? A wide flat nose cuts a larger-diameter wound channel on impact than a pointed bullet, and flat-nose profiles are also the standard safe choice for tubular-magazine lever-action rifles.
