Speer Lead Handgun Bullets .38/.357 158gr LRN

The Speer lead round nose is a .38/.357-caliber, 158-grain handgun bullet (Speer part no. 4648) built on the cold-formed lead process Vernon Speer introduced over 40 years ago. Speer refined the design further with a hi-tech multi-layer lube system that stays with the bullet through the barrel instead of burning off, virtually eliminating the gas cutting that causes most leading problems in revolvers. It is a straightforward, dependable bullet for reloaders running high-volume .38 Special and .357 Magnum practice and range loads. This listing is a bulk 500-count box.
