Speer .38 Cal 158 gr Lead Semi-Wadcutter Hollow Point Bullets (Speer part no. 4628) give handloaders an economical option for target shooting and practice without giving up the extra terminal effect of a hollow point. Speer’s lead bullets use a high-tech, multi-layer lubrication system that stays bonded to the bullet instead of burning off in the bore, which virtually eliminates the gas cutting that causes most leading problems in cast-lead loads. The semi-wadcutter profile cuts a clean hole in paper for easy scoring, while the hollow-point cavity adds a wound channel this bullet’s solid-nose sibling doesn’t have.

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the difference between this and a plain semi-wadcutter? This version adds a hollow-point cavity to the same semi-wadcutter profile, giving it a wound channel a solid-nose SWC doesn’t have.

Does Speer’s lube system really reduce leading? Yes, the multi-layer lubrication stays bonded to the bullet instead of burning off, which cuts down on the gas cutting that typically causes leading with cast-lead bullets. See more reloading bullets for other Speer lead bullet options.
