Speer Hot-Cor Rifle Bullets .30 cal .308" 165 gr SSP 100/ct

The Speer Hot-Cor Rifle Bullets .30 cal .308" 165 gr SSP 100/ct are a foundational component for precision reloaders seeking terminal reliability and ballistic efficiency. In a professional field environment, the 165-grain weight is widely regarded as the sweet spot for the .308-inch diameter, offering an ideal balance of sectional density and velocity. These projectiles are engineered to perform across a variety of .30-caliber platforms, ensuring that your custom handloads meet the rigorous demands of both long-range target engagement and serious field use.

What sets these projectiles apart is the specialized Hot-Cor manufacturing process. By pouring molten lead directly into the jacket, Speer eliminates the internal voids and air pockets common in traditional cold-swaged bullets. This thermal bonding results in a more uniform projectile that resists jacket-core separation upon impact. For the operator or marksman, this means enhanced structural integrity, superior weight retention, and deep, controlled expansion that you can rely on when the shot matters most.

The Spitzer Soft Point (SSP) design provides a streamlined profile that significantly reduces aerodynamic drag, maintaining flatter trajectories and higher downrange energy. The exposed lead tip is specifically engineered to initiate immediate expansion, while the reinforced jacket base governs the mushrooming process to prevent over-expansion at higher velocities. This combination of accuracy and terminal performance makes them a top-tier choice for those who demand consistent results from their .308-caliber rifles.

Supplied in a 100-count box, these Speer Hot-Cor Rifle Bullets provide the volume necessary for comprehensive load development and zeroing. Whether you are optimizing a load for duty applications or preparing for a high-stakes hunt, these bullets deliver the consistency required for repeatable accuracy. By utilizing a proven poured-core design, Speer ensures that every projectile in the box meets the high standards of performance expected by seasoned tactical professionals and precision shooters alike.
