Sns Cast Bullets Cast 38 Caliber (.358'') 158Gr Semi-Wadcutter Lead 500/Box

SNS Cast Bullets' 38 caliber semi-wadcutter handgun bullets deliver the consistency and accuracy serious reloaders demand, without the premium price tag. Each 500-round box contains 158-grain cast projectiles manufactured from a proprietary alloy blend—92% lead, 6% antimony, and 2% tin—designed to minimize variation from round to round. The polymer coating protects your barrel and reduces fouling, while the semi-wadcutter profile cuts clean holes for easier scoring at the range or in competitive shooting events.

Founded by competitive shooters themselves, SNS understands what handloaders need: bullets that perform consistently through the entire box, load after load. The 18 Brinnell hardness of the alloy strikes a balance between durability and cost-effectiveness, making these cast rounds suitable for practice, target work, and informal competition without breaking the reloading budget. Whether you're working up loads for your revolver or semi-automatic 38, these .358" projectiles offer the precision and economy that keep you at the range longer.

Cast bullets have long been the reloader's secret to stretching components further while maintaining the quality needed for accurate shooting. SNS pairs that tradition with modern manufacturing consistency, so you're not babysitting each round to ensure it'll group. Load them, shoot them, improve your groups—then load another batch knowing the results will track the same way.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use these bullets in my .38 revolver or 9mm semi-auto?

These are .358" diameter bullets designed for .38 caliber handguns—primarily revolvers, .38 Special, and similar platforms. Do not attempt to use in 9mm or other calibers; the diameter will not fit properly and creates a safety hazard. Always verify bullet diameter matches your specific firearm's chamber.

What does the polymer coating do?

The polymer coating serves two main purposes: it reduces residue buildup inside your barrel and helps protect the projectile during handling and loading. This translates to easier barrel cleaning and more consistent performance downrange.

Are these bullets suitable for competition shooting?

Yes. The semi-wadcutter profile cuts clean holes in paper targets, making them excellent for target competition and formal range shooting where hole quality matters for scoring. The consistent alloy composition and manufacturing standards support the accuracy needed for competitive work.

How does cast ammunition compare to jacketed rounds?

Cast bullets are typically more economical than jacketed rounds, making them ideal for high-volume practice and load development. They perform reliably at handgun velocities. The tradeoff is that cast rounds require more frequent barrel cleaning due to the exposed lead. For hunters or shooters with limited budgets and time to spend at the range, cast bullets make solid sense.
