Hornady Lead Pistol Bullets .38 cal .358" 158 gr SWCHP 300/ct

The Hornady Lead Pistol Bullets .38 caliber .358" 158 grain SWC hollow point ammunition component delivers uniform, reliable performance for handloaders who demand consistency across high-volume reloading sessions. Available in 300-count packaging, these lead pistol bullets are precision-swaged rather than cast, ensuring the dimensional uniformity and balance critical to accuracy in competitive shooting and training applications.

The .358" diameter and 158-grain weight are ballistically optimized for .38 Special and similar revolver platforms, delivering controlled expansion and reliable terminal performance. Hornady's engineering incorporates special knurling geometry that locks lubrication wax in place, reducing leading in the bore and extending barrel life—a measurable advantage when processing hundreds of rounds through duty weapons or competition revolvers. The semi-wadcutter (SWC) profile produces clean target holes for easier scoring and delivers moderate recoil management compared to heavier .38 loads, making it suitable for extended practice sessions and qualification exercises.

This product serves serious reloaders, law enforcement agencies managing ammunition costs through in-house production, competitive revolver shooters, and firearms instructors who cycle high volumes of ammunition in training programs. The 300-round bulk packaging reduces per-round component costs and minimizes inventory restocking frequency. Hornady's strict adherence to manufacturing tolerances ensures shooters and agencies can reload with confidence that round-to-round performance will remain consistent across entire lots.

For reloaders seeking component-grade pistol bullets with documented uniformity and proven bore protection, the Hornady .38 caliber lead bullets represent a category standard. The swaged construction and lubrication design address the two primary failure modes in high-volume revolver shooting: bore leading and round-to-round accuracy variance.
