Hornady Lead Pistol Bullets - Precision for the Cowboy Shooter
In the realm of firearms, precision and authenticity stand as pillars that cannot be compromised. Hornady's Lead Pistol Bullets embody these tenets with meticulous engineering designed to serve both contemporary marksmen and those who embrace the heritage of cowboy action shooting.
The .38 Caliber Hollow Base Wadcutter (HBWC) bullets are a testament to Hornady’s dedication to craftsmanship. Measuring at a diameter of .358 inches and weighing 148 grains, these bullets offer exceptional accuracy due to their cold-swaged construction. Unlike traditional casting methods, swaging ensures total uniformity and balance throughout each bullet—qualities that translate directly into improved shot consistency.
A distinguishing feature is Hornady’s exclusive knurling system. This intricate design retains lubricant across the entire bearing surface, significantly reducing leading in your barrel while maintaining performance integrity shot after shot. Each bullet comes pre-lubricated for your convenience, ensuring they’re ready for action right out of the box.
Cowboy shooters will appreciate that these bullets adhere strictly to Single Action Shooting Society (SASS) specifications—a nod towards authenticity without sacrificing modern manufacturing standards. The traditional conical and flat designs achieve perfect symmetry when paired with base knurling, reinforcing their role as reliable projectiles under demanding conditions.
With a ballistic coefficient of .047 and sectional density standing at .165, these attributes further enhance stability in flight—a crucial factor when pursuing peak precision on target ranges or competitive stages alike.
Whether you’re an aficionado seeking historical accuracy or simply demand dependable performance from every round fired downrange, trust in Hornady Lead Pistol Bullets as your steadfast companion on this journey through time-honored tradition backed by cutting-edge technology.
