In the realm of precision and performance, Hornady stands as a stalwart with its .38 caliber lead round nose bullets. These projectiles are meticulously engineered for those who demand perfection in their shooting endeavors.
The Hornady .38 Cal LRN (Lead Round Nose) bullet boasts a diameter of .358 inches and weighs 158 grains. This carefully calculated mass ensures consistent ballistic performance, marked by a ballistic coefficient of .159 and a sectional density of .176. Such specifications contribute to the bullet's stability in flight and impact efficiency.
What sets these bullets apart is Hornady's commitment to quality through cold-swaging technology rather than traditional casting methods. Each bullet is pre-lubricated, enhancing uniformity across every shot fired. The combination of conical or flat designs with precise knurling at the base ensures perfect symmetry, facilitating optimal balance during discharge.
This particular line adheres strictly to SASS (Single Action Shooting Society) specifications, making them an authentic choice for cowboy action shooting enthusiasts seeking genuine historical accuracy without sacrificing modern reliability.
The special knurling technique employed holds lubrication wax evenly over the entire bearing surface—an innovation that reduces fouling while improving ease of use right out of the box. Backed by Hornady’s guarantee, these bullets promise not only convenience but also unwavering trustworthiness on each pull of the trigger.
For shooters who appreciate tradition paired with cutting-edge manufacturing processes, Hornady’s lead pistol bullets offer an unparalleled experience that echoes both history and excellence in every round loaded.
