Speer Plinker Bullets, .40 Caliber 180gr Flat Nose (Speer part no. 4713) are built for handloaders who put a lot of rounds downrange and want a bullet priced for it. Speer’s Plinker line uses a specialized copper jacket that completely encapsulates the lead core, which drastically reduces airborne lead compared to an unjacketed cast bullet while still delivering consistent, accurate performance shot after shot. This copper-plated flat nose comes in a value pack of 500 bullets, sized for serious range time.

Key Specifications

• .40 Caliber is the bore diameter Speer machined this bullet for.

• 500 per box is the quantity included, a value pack sized for high-volume range shooting.
• Copper jacket fully encapsulates the lead core, which is what reduces airborne lead compared to bare lead bullets.

• Reduced airborne lead is a direct benefit of the copper jacket, a real consideration for indoor range shooting.
• Consistent, accurate performance shot to shot is what Speer built this practice bullet around, not just low cost.
