Speer Lead Handgun Bullets .38/.357 Mag .358" 158 gr LSWC 500/ct

Speer Lead Handgun Bullets .38/.357 Mag .358" 158 gr LSWC are purpose-built reloading components for law enforcement, competitive shooters, and civilian handgun enthusiasts who demand reliable, cost-effective ammunition. Since Vernon Speer's introduction over 40 years ago, these cold-formed lead projectiles have remained the benchmark for value in the reloading community. This 500-round bulk box format supports high-volume shooters and allows precision handloaders to maintain consistent supply for duty-rated revolvers and semi-automatic platforms chambered in .38 Special and .357 Magnum.

The 158-grain lead semi-wadcutter configuration delivers the ballistic profile favored by federal and state law enforcement agencies for target qualification and duty carry. Cold-forming technology produces consistent bearing surfaces and weight uniformity critical for shot-to-shot precision. Speer's proprietary multi-layer lubrication system—the industry standard in lead bullet manufacturing—adheres to the bullet jacket throughout the firing cycle, minimizing bore fouling and extending barrel life compared to dry-lubed alternatives. The .358-inch diameter ensures reliable chambering across standard .38 and .357 revolver cylinders and compatible semi-automatic platforms, with the semi-wadcutter profile offering reduced bore leading and enhanced target visibility downrange.

Reloaders working with .38 Special and .357 Magnum platforms—from duty-grade Ruger Security-Six and S&W Model 686 revolvers to lever-action rifles in these calibers—will find these bullets deliver the accuracy and consistency required for both defensive qualification courses and precision marksmanship training. The 500-count bulk packaging reduces per-round cost while supporting sustained practice regimens. Proper powder selection and case inspection remain critical; consult published reloading manuals for load data specific to 158-grain semi-wadcutter projectiles in your platform and ammunition type.
