In the realm of precision shooting, Hornady stands as a stalwart of consistent quality and performance. Their .38 Caliber SWC-HP Lead Pistol Bullets exemplify this commitment with exacting craftsmanship that caters to both novice shooters and seasoned marksmen alike. These bullets are meticulously cold-swaged rather than cast, ensuring superior uniformity and balance—key elements for achieving remarkable accuracy on the range or in competition.
Weighing in at 158 grains with a diameter of .358 inches, these projectiles embody traditional conical and flat design principles. The symmetrical shape is accentuated by strategic knurling at the bullet's base, which serves not only aesthetic purposes but functional ones as well. This knurling effectively holds an evenly distributed lubrication wax across the entire bearing surface, enhancing smooth passage through the barrel while minimizing fouling.
The ballistic coefficient sits at .139 with a sectional density of .176, indicators that suggest balanced aerodynamics without sacrificing stopping power—a crucial consideration for those who demand reliability from their ammunition components.
Hornady’s dedication to excellence shines through in every aspect of these lead bullets. Adhering strictly to SASS specifications where applicable, they offer authenticity alongside modern engineering prowess. Whether you’re engaging targets for sport or honing your skills under competitive conditions, trust Hornady's pre-lubricated offerings backed by their solid company guarantee to deliver performance worth relying upon time after time.
