Nosler Sporting Handgun Bullets, .38 Caliber 158gr JHP

Nosler Sporting Handgun Bullets, .38 Caliber 158gr JHP (Nosler part no. 44841) are built for handgun shooters who punch paper, shoot steel, or hunt with a revolver or pistol and want the same accuracy and quality Nosler puts into its premium rifle bullets. Nosler skives the copper-alloy jacket and forms a hollow point for rapid, consistent expansion, while a pure lead core is encased in that jacket for balance and stability that carries through to accuracy on target. Like the rifle bullets, every one of these is hand-inspected for quality and polished to a bright finish before it ships.
