Speer Hot-Cor Rifle Bullets .35 cal .358" 250 gr SSP 50/ct

Speer Hot-Cor Rifle Bullets .35 caliber .358" 250 grain SSP are engineered for hunters and precision shooters demanding consistency in ballistic performance. These .35 caliber projectiles utilize Speer's proprietary Hot-Cor manufacturing process, in which molten lead is poured directly into the copper jacket during production. This method eliminates voids and inconsistencies found in conventional bullets, resulting in superior structural uniformity that translates directly to tighter shot groups and more predictable trajectory performance across multiple rounds downrange.

The 250-grain weight in the .358" diameter falls within the optimal ballistic sweet spot for medium-bore rifles, offering a balance between retained velocity and energy delivery. The semi-spitzer point (SSP) profile provides improved aerodynamic efficiency compared to traditional flat-nose designs, reducing wind drift over extended distances while maintaining reliable feeding in various magazine geometries. This 50-round per box configuration supplies reloaders with a manageable unit quantity, with a total weight of 1.86 lbs per box reflecting the density of lead-core construction. Hot-Cor construction specifically mitigates core-jacket separation—a failure mode that compromises terminal ballistics and accuracy—making these rounds particularly valuable for hunters working at ranges where shot placement margins are narrow.

Handloaders working with .35 Whelen, .358 Winchester, or other medium-bore rifle cartridges rely on Speer Hot-Cor projectiles for consistency-driven reloading programs. The broad caliber range available within the Hot-Cor lineup—spanning 6mm through 9.3mm and classic American calibers like .270, .30-30, and .375 H&H—makes Speer a recognized standard in the precision ammunition component market. Whether for developing match-grade hunting loads or maintaining reliable performance across temperature and atmospheric variables, this 250-grain offering delivers the manufacturing quality that serious reloaders and field hunters expect.
