Speer Hot-Cor 303Cal 180gr Soft Point Round Nose 100 Per Box

Speer 2223 Hot-Cor bullets are the premier choice for hunters using classic military rifles like the Lee-Enfield or Mosin-Nagant. The Hot-Cor process involves pouring molten lead directly into the copper jacket, which virtually eliminates the internal lead oxide layer found in cold-core bullets. This results in a highly consistent projectile that resists core-jacket separation upon impact. The round nose profile is specifically designed for reliable feeding in older bolt-action magazines and delivers massive energy transfer at “woods” hunting distances. With a heavy 180-grain weight and bonded construction, this bullet provides deep penetration on medium-to-large game like elk, moose, and large deer.Defensive ApplicationHeavy soft points offer deep penetration and expansion. They carry a high risk of over-penetration in homes and can easily defeat multiple barriers.
