Speer Grand Slam Soft Point Rifle Bullets, .30 Caliber, 165 gr (part number 2038), are engineered specifically for big-game hunting, built to punch through thick hides, heavy bone, and tough muscle without losing accuracy along the way. A tapered, precision-drawn jacket and a long nose profile work with internal jacket flutes to control expansion on impact, while the bullet retains most of its weight for deep penetration. Reloaders working up big-game hunting loads use this 165-grain .30-caliber bullet where controlled expansion and penetration matter more than flat-out velocity.
