Hornady Frontier 38 Cal .357 158 gr SWC Lead Bullets - 300 Count

The Hornady Frontier .357 158 gr SWC lead bullets deliver the consistency and quality handloaders expect from one of the most trusted names in reloading components. Packed 300 to a box, these semi-wadcutter projectiles are cold-swaged for uniform density and dimensional consistency from the first bullet to the last — giving you a reliable foundation for accurate, repeatable handloads.

Each bullet comes pre-lubricated and features Hornady's exclusive knurling system, which locks lubricating wax evenly across the full bearing surface. The result is reduced barrel leading and cleaner shooting session after session — a meaningful advantage whether you're putting rounds downrange at the range or loading up for a match. The SWC profile provides a clean, defined shoulder that cuts paper targets crisply and feeds reliably in revolvers chambered for .38 Special and .357 Magnum.

At 158 grains, this is a classic projectile weight that handloaders have trusted for decades in the .38/.357 family of cartridges. The semi-wadcutter design has stood the test of time for good reason: its geometry promotes consistent seating, straight alignment in the case, and dependable accuracy when paired with quality powder and primers. With 300 bullets per box, you're stocked up for a solid loading session without constantly reaching for another box.

If you reload for revolvers or semi-auto pistols chambered in .38 or .357, these Hornady Frontier lead SWC bullets are a workhorse component worth keeping on the bench. Cold-swaged construction, consistent lubrication, and Hornady's production standards make them a go-to choice for volume handloaders who won't compromise on quality.
